Default Hooker Aerochamber installed

So I installed my Hooker Aerochamber the other day.

It sounds pretty damn good for the stock exhaust with cats and just the muffler. It's got a deep mellow tone and it opens up nice n loud at WOT.

I installed just the muffler so far. My headers and ory are sitting here in the box waiting to be installed.

The hanger on the driver side needs to be adjusted but I'm gonna do that when I installed the headers and ory in a week or two.

I haven't seen many videos with the Aerochamber and LS1 so here it is. The video doesn't do it justice though. The audio is very sensitive, so it's kinda loud in the video. Hopefully I can get a camera with better audio and make another vid soon.

I've had my lt's/ory/hooker combo for almost a year an love it, thought it would drone before I put it on but to my surprise there isnt any. Quiet but deep tone until you step on it

Nice. I was thinking it would be pretty good. You can usually tell when they will drone and be annoying. Now I can be sure it'll be fine when I get the headers and ory on.

The sound will get more aggressive with the header swap. My car came with this exhaust when I bought it.

I thought it was too tame with jus LTs and ORY. With an MS3 it sound nice to say the least.

I like a "quieter" exhaust.

I'll be happy when it's all done I'm sure.

Sounds nice, looking forward to hearing it with the LT's and ORY. Did you go with the Edelbrock headers, or something else? Car looks clean too.

Thanks. It's a little quieter than it sounds at idle when it's warm, but when I rev it, it gets pretty loud.

Thanks, me too. Yea, I got the Edelbrock stepped coated headers and a TSP stainless ORY. Thanks again.
