Default Will the hooker catback outflow the SLP dual/dual catback?

I'm thinking about swapping out my SLP dual/dual for the hooker catback, is it worth it performane wise? I know the hooker sounds a lot better...

It out flows and it sounds awsome with LT's. I dont like the sound of the dual dual with LT's. i say go for it.

I have Pacesetter LT's, ORY and Hooker catback and like it. Some rasp with no cats around 2000-2500 rpm under hard load. It sounds awesome and I have gotten several compliments on the exhuast system.

What im confused about is all the talk about how flowmaster does NOT flow well, and its a chambered muffler. On the same note, hooker is a chambered muffler as well but its supposed to flow really good. Can someone explain this contradiction please?

Performance wise, probably not, little to no difference. However, it's lighter than the dual/dual.

I doubt you will see much gain from the swap, not worth it performance wise. If you decide to do it for a change in sound, then it's another story.

The dual dual is a GREAT exhaust. I think the factory installed dual dual optional catback has a quieter muffler then the aftermarket add-on. The add-on is more aggressive and probably won't promote as much rasp as the Hooker. The hooker has the ability to drop the muffler and tailpipes to save weight.

We have the exact same exhaust setup! I dont care what anyone says I have 720 dollars in my exhaust: Pacesetter LTs coated, ORY pipe, Hooker catback and this F**king thing sounds awesome and pulls like an SOB. All for less then some for headers alone. New dyno #'s this coming Thursday
