hey i have a hooker cat back with a straight up awesome sounding aero chamber muffler.... that is untill i installed headers on sunday and now the car sounds like an old truck with a holey muffler. i no longer have a cat. could the muffler of the cat be what I'm missing or is it something else???? any responses help. thanx guys!

 

Adding a cat or a resonator will help mellow the sound back out.

 

It's the missing cat.

A 3" Dynomax bullet where the cat used to be will probably put it back to the sound you came to love.

 

**** man...im about to remove my cat from my system. right now im runging a L98 with stock manifolds with a hooker cat back. i havent been able to run the car though, im in the middle of an engine transplant...but i have a brand new hooker cat back and i was gunna put in a delete pipe, but not if it's gunna make my car sound like crap!

 

I like the sound of mine without a cat, but then I'm running true duals...

 

anyone else with a hooker cat back remove their cat? id like to hear your opinions

 

I have the Hooker Cat back with a cat and I thought the car sounded great. After I installed my headers I too thought that the car sounded like poo. It sounded truck like. At idle it was very nice and rumbled the way I liked it, but once I got on the gas I thought it sounded horrible. Mind you this is with the stock cam. A cam swap will deffinately maker her sound better.
