my hooker has a set of lungs that are pretty decent...i guess i could have worded that differently lol.

i switched from true duals back to a hooker catback with a ory cause i loved the sound so much more. for whatever that is worth.

a dynomouth/borlamouth would flow very well too!

Good luck

I have heard hooker and sounds awesome. I just am not a huge fan of the tips on the magnaflows.

Those with Pacesetter's & ORY: is there much rasp from the Hooker? I have a flowmaster and it is very raspy. Does the Hooker cat-back come with the aerochamber? I will not buy a cat back so I guess my question is, does the aerochamber produce much rasp with the ORY?

there is some raspiness, but nothing where you go "omg that rasp is nasty" most of the time its unnoticeable.

if it gets too raspy, get a bullet muffler, then there is absolutely no rasp.

you'll love a hooker catback. its very quiet inside the car even with the ttops on. no resonance what so ever. but dont let that fool you. stand behind the car and hav esomoene else rev it up to 5k rpms...and see just how "quiet" that bad boy is.

Nothing with a chamber ie Hooker Flowmaster will flow as much as a straight thru no matter what anyone tells you...Loudmouth flows the best...then magnaflow/dynomax welded bullets

Best muffler = no muffler. Let it sound like it should!

no denying they will flow the best other than true duals. have you looked at a hooker aero chamber cut in half? i would use the word Chambered loosely with these things. on a side not lt's and loudmouth/dynomouth...can't say it sounds very good. reminds me of a mid 80's pick up truck

My Spintech has a 4" inlet and dual 3" outlets. I'd say it flows well.

Thumbs up ATR Pitbull

I rescently installed the ATR Pitbull cat back and love the sound. It is straight through and very free flowing. It is also very quiet at cruz and has a rumble at idle. At WOT it has a ripping sound so you know the muffler is flowing gases.

since you said sound almost everyone wll say hooker bcuz youj also said muffler...it flows nice....really nice...although i think magnaflow will edge it out...LM flows the best out of any Catback really...i think its like 1 LM 2 GMMG 3 Corsa Magnaflow TSP Rumbler (all straiight through mufflers) 4 Hooker and dead last Flowmaster

thats just what it seems o me...i could be rong wiht the GMMG tho...

You can alwasyu get a cutout haha

But best soundin Muffler is Hooker while perfoming very well...Magnaflow is the upper hand performer while still sounding good...either way you get the best of both worlds

Will yall convinced me too, I just ordered a Hooker Aerochamber. The rasp is horrible w/an ory and a flowmaster. I loved the sound of the flowmaster when I had cats though.
