Default Gutted Hooker Muffler?

I had a Hooker catback on my T/A but I went true duals. Well since the camaro is still running the stock catback I'm going to put the Hooker on the camaro but it needs to be a little louder than the T/A was. Anybody ever knocked some of the packing out of it? And I know gutted hooker haha lol.

not sure if the hooker is stuffed..but id really not recommend that. it will sound like pure ***...it will be metallic and harsh..exactly like a can. get a different muffler and call it a day.

Take the stock muffler off and do that. That way you don't ruin a good hooker muffler haha! It's worth a try in my book

your best bet to be louder is take it off and run a bullet dumped, i vote magnaflow bullet but there kinda pricey, i did read somewhere that there were people cutting a hole in the hooker, i never saw the point in that , and i feel it wouldnt perform how it should, bullet dumped with a turn down would be the way i would do it, if you didnt want it dumped just run it over the axle

Instead of hacking the muffler up, just take it off.

I think I'll just go the dumped bullet route. And then put the Hooker catback and cutout setup over on my L98 Iroc. Thanks. I don't remember where I read some doing something to the Hooker but when I looked in it before I had it put on it didn't look like there was really anything to take out.
