Default Anybody used Hooker....

Just curious, has anybody that you know of used the Hooker Aerochamber single-in/single-out mufflers for duals? I don't think I've heard of any, but I don't see why you couldn't use them, and their catback sounds nice so i would assume they would sound pretty good too.

I think the issue would be getting them to fit. I had a friend do it with Flowmaster 40's, but he had to wedge them in awkwardly.

I've actually been wanting to use hooker areos for my duals setup (currently running the larger Dynomax mufflers) because I wanted a bit deeper, quieter sound. I wonder if they'd fit behind the T/A's rear bumber nicely...I'd be interested in a setup that's already tried this.

I would think that you would need to use a BFH to clear some space in the floorboards for them to fit up nicely as they are pretty big. I love the sound of my hooker catback, I would love to hear what duals sound like with hookers.

If you could put one on top of the other with like a 1/2 inch of space between them right back where the stock muffler goes maybe you could bring one pipe over each side of the axle (like mine) and then cross them and go out the other side. lol. Kinda complicated, but it might work. The stock muffler is quite a few inches longer than those hookers, so you should have a little bit of space to bend those pipes to go in the end of the mufflers.

If you can't get those to fit I think the Borla XR1's are a nice muffler too.
