Default Hooker catback crew

how many of you are running this catback with over 400whp? Is it too restrictive for that power level? Would significant gains (10+hp) be obtained from a catback swap/cutout? Planning for the future....

i made 517 rwhp, 493 rwtq with a 3" cutout and 511 rwhp, 483 rwtq through the hooker catback. it is a very free flowing catback.

yeah the hooker is a good one. the only catback i like better is the magnaflow. they flow right next to one another too. neither one of them give up more than 5hp to a cutout.

I had a Hooker cat-back previously on my '99 and loved it, flows great and sounds just perfect. Too bad they don't make it in stainless, then it would be perfect
