Car: 91 Camaro
Catback: Hooker or Banks ?

I'm currently running 91 Camaro with a 305, Edelbrock Headers, Highflowcat to Flowmaster 80 Series. I'm looking for a catback that is more muscle sounding, little louder, and has more flow. I've heard great things about both Hooker Aero and the Banks system. Which is better sounding ? More muscle car tone ? Which flows more ? Help me out guys. JQ

i've never heard hooker, but i have banks and it sounds great. it's decently quiet at idle, unlike flowmaster or others, but it sounds incredible when you step on it. plus, i love the tips it comes with

Sorry, gott put my in on this one.


I just put my hooker aerochamber in last weekend. It sounds unbelieveable. I have never heard the banks exhaust, but I know for a fact that the aerochamber is awesome.

I <3 My Hooker catback!
