Default Thoughts on hooker aerochamber cat back?

How many of you guys are running the hooker aerochamber cat back? It dont look very popular going by the search results. I have a custom 3" Y pipe into 3"- 4" flow master Y merge with a cut out. Then reduces back to 3" for the cat back to hook up. Just ordered the aerochamber system from summit. Curious how it will turn out.

I liked mine. I bought it back in early/mid 2000's and I want to say it was under $250. It jumped up a lot when I went to purchase another setup so I just transferred it from my 3rd gen to my 4th gen. I have some video's Ill have to find. The rest of the TA was JBA midlengths and ORY pipe

They sound amazing! But unfortunately I hear they’re kinda restrictive on flow.

yes they sound really good, very deep and no rasp but I agree they are on the restrictive side. I pick up 2-3mph with my cutout off and can feel the car pull harder up top

I'm basically stock for now but plan on heads/cam in the future and was really on the fence about the Hooker system, especially since it's nearly half the cost of the GMMG/MadHammer. I want it breathe and sure don't want to potentially restrict my motor either. I've heard/read this elsewhere and appreciate the info!

I got the hooker system on with a 4" electric cut out. Still working on tuning so no WOT pulls yet to really know how restrictive it is. I will say it sounds AMAZING and is much quieter than I expected. Overall I think its a very nice system and for the price Just put in a cut out if your too worried about the restriction. They sound mean with an open cut out.

I have one on the car now. It sounds good at wot but I’m looking to swap it out. Too quite at idle really like the way gmmg and borla sounds but that’s just me.
