Video clip of takeoff - Hooker catback

Finally got a bunch of movies of my car, this one with a good sound clip of the Hooker. Ran it to the end of 2nd @75MPH. The camera was about 150ft away...

Sounds pretty good but I still have to say that I like the sound of my 80s Flow still a little more.

The camera was 150ft away. This is one of the loudest functioning cat and mufflered small block thirdgen I've ever heard. Every flowmaster I've heard sounds like a 3.1 on steroids - I know, I used to have one.

The engine is an 355 with 8.5:1, stock heads and only a .390 lift 204* dur. @.050 cam. It's pretty slow. It only ran a 13.85 before the trans and converter.

If I can get a decent in car clip I will. The only problem is that it is so loud that the recording comes out very distorted.

I also have a video racing my friends 97 TA 6M with cold air, power programmer, 1.6 RR and BBK shorties with no cats and a Flowmaster. He beats me but my car is louder. It's a long video, and I have no where to put it up - it's close to 30MB.

Not the 1's I've heard. Actually, you'll hear different sounds with both depeneding. But what you said is pretty much what I think of the Aerochamber!! Lets hear what Mark A Shields says about that. But he works for them so you can't go by him.

stock heads and a .390 lift cam = 13??? Damn, my firebird should run 10's by that theory

Now I got nothing wrong with flowmaster, I just prefer the Hooker on my car, I've heard some good sounding flows, but sometimes they sound kind of hollow.

I quit the job last week by the way.

Sounds good but it doesn't sound much like mine. My exhaust is on the borderline of being too loud. I really need to get some audio/video of my car ....I been saying that for months and haven't gotten around to doing it yet

Yeah, I don't see that ET with that cam, I have the same cam and it sucks @ss. I'd be lucky to be in the 14s with it, but I'm not. That will change next year though.

Sounds pretty good, but not as good as I expected. I actually like my Ravin' more. It could also sound better in person, which I'm sure it does.
