So my hooker cat back just got installed today and...

Anyone else think it's pretty quiet? It has a really nice sound at idle....but its fairly quiet under light acceleration. It's a chambered muffler so it's not going to get any louder right?

My aerochamber catback is pretty loud IMO, wish it was slightly quieter actually so I didn't sound like a Nascar all the time. I wouldn't mind just a bit of stealth going on, but what the heck. I think it gets slightly louder as it wears in...

Mine is sitting upstairs. It's going on as soon as I get the headers sandblasted, then painted or coated. I don't think it will sound too agressive with an LG4.

Interior sound also has a lot to do with where your tips are.

Mine has a fairly quiet tone at idle, it's still not loud under light acceleration, but past about 1/3 throttle, it opens up pretty quickly. I like it. And I don't think mine has changed noticeably in the first year I've had it.

I have had mine on now for about 4 years and I love it its not to loud when your cruising around but when u get on it you can be heard for several blocks away, all I had before was a 305 with manifolds and it sounded good cant wait to see what it sounds like with some headers and a 350 maybe it will sound diffrent maybe it wont we'll see

It will break in and get louder as time goes on. When I first got mine on I didn;t even think I had it on it was so quiet. Now it is really loud with headers and high flow cat.

What RPM do you cruise at? I noticed my hooker is really loud 2500+ rpm, but if I cruise in 4th or 5th at like 2000 then its quiet.
