When the flowmaster was first started I liked it better, but at idle and especially when revving, there is no comparison, the Hooker sounds better.

 

IMHO

Hooker = Better Idle

Revin, Its real close between flowmaster and Hooker.


Mark and Jono's exhaust sounds a little different to me

 

I couldn't get Jono's to work, it played for like a second and then stopped. Guess, I'll try again.

 

I love my hooker exhaust, but I think we are a little out numbered by the flowmaster owners.

 

Try saving it to disk first, I had trouble playing it in my browser as well. Here's another one..

all mine are all 85 305 tpi's with hooker exhaust and headers

 

I didn't think they sounded all that different, maybe a little at idle.

 

The links for the Hooker may not work, these will though.

hey, go with hooker dood. Thats what Im going with when I get teh money and time. I think the hooker sounds more muscle sounding and throaty. IMO tahts what I like best, flowmaster is really aggresive, but too aggresive, sometiems its soudns *****.

 

STOP IT GUYS STOP IT!!!!!!! You're making me wish I went with the Hooker!!!

 

Looks like there are going to be a lot more Hooker systems in the future. Crap. Oh well, I'll enjoy the uniqueness for a little while.

Listen to THIS Flowmaster sound file. 89 IROC-Z 350.

 

That sounds a lot better, does that IROC have headers, because the first one doesn't which is holding it back. But I still say the hooker sounds better and has a higher cfm rating, so I wouldn't go any way but Hooker, but that's just my opinion. What kind of cat is on the last flowmaster sound clip. I'm wondering how my cat is affecting my sound, got it from NAPA, which I'm sure it's not a hi-flo one.

 

Sounds good huh. No headers. Imagine that thing with headers?!?! Not sure about the converter, I think there is 1 though, maybe the dude who owns it will post something. I do know it has these things but maybe more than this now:

150 H.P. NOS, Progressive Controller,Comp Cams 1.6RR & Valve Springs, AFPR, Ram Air, K&N's, Airfoil, Ported Plenum, Accel 300+ Wires & Supercoil, !Cat, Flowmaster, Trans-Go Shift Kit, SFC's, STB, Goodyear F1's, Zainofied, T-Tops, Etc...

 

Doesnt the "!cat" mean no cat....just wondering cause in C++ and C "!" means not or no.

 

That sounds just like mine


Guess my mic sux

 

just bought the system for my car. not sure I like the quad tips though, think I'm going to cut them off and put 3.5" single tips on both sides.

 

I like the tips, kinda unique on a thirdgen, but stylish.

 

Whoa.... that sounds pretty damn mean!

I've got Flowmaster on my car, and I love it. Once I get my headers, I'll really love it...

Dont you got the 40 series? If you do, how does it differ from the 80.

 

"Doesnt the "!cat" mean no cat....just wondering cause in C++ and C "!" means not or no."

I have no idea.

"That sounds just like mine Guess my mic sux"

Maybe. I don't know how it was done but the sound on his videos are really good too. Compare it against yours, click the link.

"Whoa.... that sounds pretty damn mean!

-ONE2FLY"

Yes it does!! There are more sounds of this car on the Sounds page of this site with different setups. Once headers are on there with that exhaust I'd like to hear it. IMO still, there is no sound like Flowmaster, especially with headers. If I could only let every1 else hear the 1's I've heard on others Third Gens and at different places it would be cool but I can't obviously. I want to have 1 of those incredible sounding cars sometime.

Listen to the same 89 IROC-Z 350 at the track with a c/out open. I'm sure any1 that hasn't heard this will like it. https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/m...itrous_Run.ram There is more of these for this car on the Movies page of this site, they also sound really good.

 

hooker is better, duh.

flow's are overrated IMO.... and a funny story about flows... today i was snowboarding and putting my **** on in the parking lot when a Dodge Ram 1500 pulled up with aftermarket exhaust (turned out to be Borla...very good too)... when the guy jumps out of his truck some guy in the parking spot next to him who was putting his boots on strikes up a conversation with.. "Hey, thats a great exhaust ya got there... those flowmasters??"
the guy who owned the truck replied as he laughed "flowmaster?!? why the hell would I want that ****??" and just walked away - was the funniest thing ever

...ok, now all you flowmaster lovers have permission to flame me if you must, lol

 

they both sound OK IMO, but the best by far and not yet mentioned was the dynomax mufflers, listen to this http://www.dynomax.com/audio/track01.wav

 

Those mufflers really do sound good taking off, but when the driver let up, it sounded like crap almost like a rice burner. I'll have to take some sound clips like that, and see how it turns out.

 

No way, it was OK, but I didn't like that much either. Doesn't really compare to the stuff I've heard before. Those mufflers are good for flow though and are good for those looking for an exhaust thats not as loud as a Flowmaster or Aerochamber.

 

rofl..that borla thing is pretty funny. Most people that don't know much about cars still know flowmaster, and k@n, and some others. I've been asked if my car has flowmasters and I've pretty much responded the same way.

On an unrelated note.. I was driving to Kragen today(and to get a haircut also, at the place next door) and a shelby 427 cobra zoomed past me.. that side exhaust sounds really good. I could really hear that thing coming. There are two of those cars in my town, a red one and a black one..I used to see them at the tuesday night fudruckers car show when I lived down here. They are both immaculate.

 

Well guys , I may be new to this board..... I have a 383 stroker in my IROC, headers and "true" dual flowmaster exhaust.... and there aint now way in HELL my car sounds like a "*****" !!! I cant stand the way those freakin cars sound !!!

Sorry to say but FLOWMASTER RULES !!!

 

No, I didn't mean the flow sounded rice, I meant the dynomax muffler, only when he let up.

 

I like both. Marks exhaust sounds sweeeeeeeeeet. I still love flowmaster though I like starting my car, and stick my head lower then the bumper, its sounds so bad ***

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.....

I have a neighbor with 4th gen Z and he has an SLP Loud Mouth exhaust system on it...... to tell you the truth, my IROC still sounds better than his !!

 

that dynomax clip was a 99 drag race mustang with 370hp.

 

Just my opinion, I heard a SLP loud mouth. Sounds like a boat at idle. At WOT its SO loud it has no growel/Pur behind it. Defenetly not for me.

 

Hookers are great, and probably a better product, but I prefer the tone of the Flowmaster. I remember one day at the WCG2000 when a certain Camaro drove up to us in the parking garage.... pure music to my ears

 

What car was that??

 

I can't remember for sure if it was Tim Burgess or a black Camaro that was in attendance, but that sound sure left and impression on me.

 

I bought the Flowmaster 3" with the 3-chamber muffler. Hated the sound. Put in a 2-chamber muffler......sounds awesome!

 

i perfer hooker sounds better

 

Thats probably the best example of what Hooker Aero-Chambers sound like. Sound almost identical to mine. Not very loud (but loud enough) at cruising/idle and when you get on it the thing screams.

 

yeah i agree the dynomax definately sounds ***** , and kind of the 30 series , if everyone wants to hear some flowmaster stuff , just go to the sight www.flowmastermufflers.com you can check out every series 30 - 80 i think the 30 series on the el camino and the 80 series on the vette sound the coolest , neways i dont know if flowmaster and hookers are a real comparison , arent flowmasters like extremely cheaper , i know ive found them for like 60 bucks....

 

Neither, let me go record my Thunder Jet...

Where can I upload the sound?

 

I bought my cat-back for $200, I don't think flows are that cheap.

As far as uploading, go to geocities or maybe www.tripod.com

 

I like the way my flowmast cat-back sounds. never have heard the hooker ones.

 

Every single day of my life I hear Flowmasters atleast once. Everyone who cant decide on which to get then get yourself Blowmasters so my car can sound original.

 

400plus HP and Flowmasters are the way to go!

 

YEAH!!

 

Dynomax w/hooker long tubes sounds bad@$$ !
