hooker aerochamber or 10 series single chamber flowmaster i currently have the 10 series single chamber flowmaster on it. i have a 2000 z-28 with mac mid length headers and carsound cats. i was wondering if the hooker would sound better than the flowmaster 10 series. i want to keep the cats and mids what would be the best muffler to put in the stock location. i got about $120 to spend on a muffler. what muffler to get????

go with SLP loudmouth seriously. you know what they call flowmasters on an LS1 motor?????? slowmasters they drop ur horsepower by sometimes as much as 40 ive personnally seen it done on a dyno swam mufflers out, i was amazed ive always thought flowmaster was the way to go. just my .02

Our setup is somewhat similar. I'm running MAC mids --> MAC catless Y --> cutout(closed) --> Hooker Aerochamber. I couldn't give you any dyno numbers but I can tell you at times the aerochamber can have a tin can type rattle. I don't know if your cats would help that or not but just wanted to let ya know.

It's almost as free-flowing as you're gonna get.

Id stay with the flowmaster 10 series. Also, no way anyone is losing 40 rwhp with a flowmaster catback on an LS1 unless its making 600+ rwhp, and even then thats pushing it. No way in hell a basically stock ls1 jumps from 294 rwhp to 334 rwhp, maybe with the addition of the LM and then the car was tuned, but 40 rwhp with just a catback swap is not happening, sorry.

The loudmouth is basicly straight pipe. But even comparing the two, 40hp is a litte crazy.
