Sorry Buddy, but you or no one else can convince me that the Hooker sounds better than "way overused" Flowmaster.

I must say all your ranting on about it caused me to consider it, and I bought it, and am glad I did. It is not as loud as the flows, but more than loud enough to get me in trouble. I have not heard anyone say they didnt like the sound. But your persistance did play a factor, and Ill bet at least 1500 or your 6000+ (probably will be 7 by the time this is posted) posts are about the hooker system.

There should be an option on your poll that reads: "I think Mark really needs to go outside and play, every once in a while."

I bought a hooker,(not catback, just muffler) to replace my flowmaster 2 chamber, because of interior resonance,

and yeah, it was mostly on seeing you, and others you've sold on them saying how good they are.

For the record, just like everyone else I've seen who's using them, I couldn't be happier.

Funny you should say that. I have a flowmaster on my car that's getting replaced with a hooker.

Yeah, what he said!


IMHO, two 3" pipes looks better than four 2" pipes. Maybe it's because they look like cannons and people don't tailgate me.

Four 2" pipes? Really? You don't say... Hooker seems to disagree with your ruler.

Well, Hooker's literature says they are Quad 3" tips... I don't have mine yet and haven't measured my friend's, but they are bigger than 2".

Geezus, that's huge. Are those the 3" tips in Mark's pic?

I'd ponder getting quad 3" cannons, but my exhaust system is literally only 6 weeks old. I'll be running Flowmaster for quite some time.

hey mark, Im really hesitant to fill in your poll becaus eI apply to none of them, im more... "Im a fan of hooker but I dotn have 260$ right now to spare and I am really attached to my hedman+flowmaster setup". BTW I put a new clip of my exhaust since the installation of my headers, its in my sig jsut click on it, I like the way it sounds. But Im not gonna say flowmaster is better than hooker or vice versa, I like both. O, but I love huge *** tips, im not too fond of the split tips but it is unique.

You should really stop recommending it, it sounds terrible .
I just don't want anyone to have my awesome exhaust, so seriously, stop it.

I know how you feel. But when people ask, I'd hate to hide it. Though that's why lately I say you can't go wrong with either Flowmaster or Hooker.

Flowmaster should change their ad to "3.5 million Mustang drivers can't be wrong".

Aren't hookers standard with convertables? Do you have pics? Do they blow when you flash a $20???

I like the sound of Marks,thought about adding them to my cutlass instead of my staight pipes:noise police but it's flows for me(I got a discount hehehehehe):hail:

I can't stand the drone of the flowmasters and on hearing your sound clip I went and bought myself a Hooker exhaust system. Just installed it yesterday and all I can say is that I sure didn't make a mistake! Sounds Awesome! Better than any Flowmaster system, almost as good as open headers but then I don't think anything compares with that sounds

Hmmm, I think that if my only other option was paying for a hooker, I'd start FLOWmasturbating.
