MagnaFlow or Hooker AeroChamber My 2000 Trans Am has a Flowmaster 2 chamber on him right now. I will be home from the Middle East in 18 days. Which one sounds better? Pacesetter LT's are on the mail to my house along with an offy y pipe. I am not going to run dumps or true duals.

You cant really ask which one sounds better, thats totally up in the air.
Im running true duals w/ no mufflers right now, off of Pacesetter LT's. Loud as **** but I think it sounds great. Neighbors hate me, though.

both sound very close to each other in my mind. I went with the hooker as it has quad tips and looks a lot better in the rears of T/A's, than the magnaflows.

I had the Hooker on my Procharged 570 Rwhp SS and it sounded great and performed even better. With the cut out wide open I gained 1 Rwhp and lost 4 Rwtq over the closed Hooker cat back. It had a deep mellow sound with no rasp at all but was loud as hell when I got on it. My personal experience between the Hooker and Magnaflo is they are both approx. in sound/performance. Just choose the one that best fits your budget and weather you want stainless or aluminized.

magnaflow is good on a stock manifolds car, but its too loud and raspy with a ORY with headers. Hooker and the slp dual dual OEM are the best way to go with an header/ory setup.
