What's quieter, Hooker or Dynomax?
According to the data I found on the net published by Hooker, the Hooker system is quieter, but I've read from many of you that you think the Dynomax system is VERY quiet, almost too quiet. Anybody heard both? What's the verdict? Iss the dynomax system "too" quiet? My current muffler is basically silent. I doubt the dynomax is as quiet, but from what I've read... Any opinions?

Hooker is not quiet. its just a tinny bit quieter then Flowmaster. ive never heard dynomax but everyone on this site that has dynomax says its close to stock, just a little lower rumble. i have the hooker system and i love it. it gets really loud at 3000 rpms

I am getting the Hooker system, after I heard it on somebody elses 'Bird. It has a really low rumble at cruise, and makes a wicked snarl when you punch it.

The Hooker system is most certainly not what I consider quiet. Nice loud bark IMO. Slightly quieter than my worn out flowmaster system on my 86 IROC.

Hookers without a doubt... They sound great at idle (and will keep you out of trouble if you do get pulled over), and sound even better when you put your foot in the gas!
