Re: My exhaust is too loud!

The Hooker Aerochamber is supposed to flow more than most others, but is a decently quiet exhaust until you put your foot in it (and then to me it's not that loud at WOT). And I'm an old conservative fart so quiet to me is pretty quiet.

Re: My exhaust is too loud!

Hooker Aerochamber > Magnaflow at Cruise, and at WOT. WOT noise levels are about the same, but the tone is different.

You want quiet? Find a SLP 2otL Cat-back used. THAT Is quiet. On my Iron headed LT1 its whisper quiet below 3000rpm. Once you crossover that 3000rpm mark it changes tone and gets louder, but its still quieter than an Aerochamber at WOT.

I'm swapping my 2otL muffler out for a 3" in, dual 2.5" out Aerochamber so I can keep the 2otL look, but have the Aerochamber sound.

I actually just got finished uploading a video from an old Caravan taken from my friends 97Z with a LS1 swapped in. Patrick G Torquer cam, full bolt-on LS1 through long tubes and a Hooker Aerochamber. Amazing how quiet it is in the car, but insanely loud outside the car at WOT.

Ignore the the guy talking, thats not me. I'm in the White GTA.

Cammed LS1 full bolt-on w/Aerochamber Inside - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APpwnesCJs8
Cammed LS1 full bolt-on w/Aerochamber outside - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2LnL...eature=related



SLP 2otL cat-back outside - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGWUs...eature=related
Another inside at cruise, not no OD, so we are cruising at 3000-3500rpm the whole way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaCbhLoNaJ4
