Default Aerochamber or Maxflow
Which do you guys think sounds better? I'm going back to a quieter muffler and e-cutout. I don't know which of these 2 I will like better.

Full hooker exhaust and boltons. Gained .7mph consistently at the track dropping the muffler when I was at 375rwhp so it's not that restrictive. Half of the gain was probably from the heavy muffler.

I love my Hooker cat back, it's quiet even with my longtubes,ory and the cam, has no rasp whatsoever, no drone on highway driving, and has a super nice tone to it at wot. Plus it outflows pretty much everything else

thanks for the video, sounds good! mine is just gonna be a single in/out using the aerochamber so maybe it won't rob as much power with the cutout closed as it does with the crossflow style.

Youll Love the way it sounds! I do.. I also have a classic chambered muffler in my I pipe which did indeed quiet it down abit too. And with the single in-out it makes it unique i feel..



dont mind everything being dirty

My hooker isnt. Its an offset in with a center out. for me it worked out abit easier. However, my old magnaflow setup was center in and center out. I didnt have any problems making either work. Just make sure all of your angles are right (if youll be fabricating the whole exhaust)

Youll love the way it sounds and looks! if you look at my car from the back, the only exhaust you can see is the cutout. and thanks for the comment on the smiley lol i just repainted it chevy orange
