Right now I'm having an issue with my exhaust because I want to lower my car... so I'm looking for options. I was looking at a chart that someone posted of different muffler flow/noise info, and I saw something interesting. Hooker Max Flow mufflers flow extremely well, are very quiet at idle, and are very loud WOT. That would be basically what I'm looking for... I'm considering getting a custom Y and catback made with a flowmaster merge and a Hooker Max Flow muffler after seeing those numbers, but has anybody used them for anything? I haven't seen any clips or really even heard of them. They're pretty cheap too, so that's another positive. Has anyone heard anything with these?

Also, what do you think i would be making, power-wise, between a dual 2.5" setup with and X and flowmaster single chambers, and the 3" Y with flowmaster merge and then either a 3.5" or 4" pipe with the Max Flow muffler?

Here's the chart I was looking at:
