I'd say Hooker aero chamber or flowmaster, flows if you want more of idle loud, hooker for a more WOT loud.

Though getting a whole cat-back will help more, and the add't of headers helps a lot too.

sound clip of my hooker cat-back in sig.

also check out the website in my sig for Thirdgen Nationals '03.

Id go with the flowmaster. It has a nice rumble at all rpms. From what I seen with hooker, its only loud at WOT.


Flowmaster is louder then hooker all the time until WOT, then they are about the same.
