Default Hooker Muffler question.....please help

Ok, so I just got off the phone with the place that was SUPPOSED to install my muffler today....turns out the guy never ordered the muffler because he said Hooker doesn't make a muffler to fit the camaro??? WTF??? I have a 1999 Z28...of course they make one.. he said the Camaro muffler has to have dual outlets one on each side. And the Hooker muffler has a 3" inlet and dual 2.5" outlets ON THE SAME SIDE....SO WHAT!!!

Can't you just create a pipe to go to each side of the car from the dual outlets on the same side?


Im really confused right now.... Basically I look on summit and Jegs and they show the Hooker Aerochamber for $79 that it is for a 93-99 or 93-02 Camaro's what is the difference in the two.....


Anyone have picts of their Hooker muffler so I can show these WTF it is SUPPOSED to look like!



Thanks

just order the whole system, and install it your self, literally takes about an hour or so. plus it will look a lot better than monkeying a muffler into the stock setup. You will always wish you had done it right the first time, and eventually you'll do it twice=more money.

I don't need a cat-back system I already had a custom y-pipe and gutted cats installed.. I just need the muffler...can't they just make some pipes go to the orignal exit location?


so basically this is the muffler I should order right??
