I'm looking to order a new exhaust to replace the beat to crap magnaflow that came with it. I hear good things about the Aerochamber, anyone have one? Sound videos would be nice too, its a full bolt on LT1

Other then that exhaust hanging about 6 inches off the bumper that sounds pretty good! Go true duals it's a completely different sound and flows a lot better then the Y and catback..........I don't care what anyone says about it not flowing as much as true duals

Yeah but i dont want it dumped at the axle, id like to run it out the back, considering the Trans Ams have cutouts in the bumper. And i dont know of any trustworthy exhaust shops in my area

i loved the aerochamber catback i had on my car. i was the first and only one in my area for the longest time to have one. prices have jumped up tho. I bought mine new for $205 back in 2004, and sold it for $200 earlier this year, and to beat it all, the new owner felt that he got a great deal on it!

im thinking about true duals with aero chambers now..

The previous owner welded it crooked, its dented in above the axle because he hit a bump hard, its boogered up where the ypipe goes into it. Its good for the muffler, tips, and the stainless 3" piping.

If he buys the muffler, I'd be interested in the tips.

I think the(burnout) first one is dual open cutouts, the run down the track is definately through the exhaust(hooker muffler w/custom tips).

the hooker aerochamber is a great sounding affordable exhaust.

The only problem with it is that it really isnt made from quality parts. Im suprised the magnaflow on your car has gone south, they normally last longer then a hooker catback. When i got my old 94 z28 m6 it came with a hooker cat back, it sounded great but it was already rusting out/leaking (even sounded good still lol) and from what i was told it wasnt that old. If i had to say, Ramair95's car doesnt see much "weather". If you live in areas with snow and road salt, your experience may differ from someone who has it on a car that doesnt see much bad weather. I ran a hooker cat back on my old GTA trans am, i loved the sound of it and it personally didnt give me any issues, however i didnt own the car long. Im just saying this because the material its made of will be more prone to rust when snow/salt get on the roads. If YOU like the sound then buy it. Me and others can sit here and tell you its good or bad, but its all up to what YOU like. This is a hobby that doesnt make financial sense alot of the times. Buying an exhaust that lasts the longest isnt what its about though, go off what sound you like. I see your running longtubes, i was going to suggest SLP. You could still run a SLP loudmouth but do the "borla-mouth". I ran long tubes, ORY, SLP loudmouth with a moroso Spiral flow mufflers, best sounding exhaust ive ever had on an fbody if you ask me.

If you buy one be aware that there have been several quality issues with Hooker Mufflers as of late (internals falling apart after a year, catback pipes not fitting properly etc

x2 with the quality issue after a year or so, but man I love the sound of it not to loud until you lay into the throttle. My muffler has a metallic rattle at idle
