Hooker Aero Flow Chamber Exhaust on my 89 GTA 5.7

Put Hooker Aero Flow Chamber exhaust on my 89 GTA with the 5.7. This car has cats deleted.

Here's getting the exhaust:
Here's some clips of the exhaust:

The tips have since been re-aligned and tucked to the bumper a little bit.

I used to have Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow on my truck I believe and this is louder than that, but similar overall tone.

I can't speak for the catback for these cars though, I've only had the Hooker setup. I will say when you hammer on this thing and go through the gears, this thing is a riot. You don't go too fast, but it sounds great. Definitely has that 80's muscle car sound to it.

Car looks and sounds great, I like the quad tips maybe more than the tail pipes on my Magnaflow.

You know, I saw Magnaflows on a GTA at a car show and I absolutely love the dual tips on these cars.. so much so that I was going to go with that at first.

That being said, you don't see much for quad tips on the third gens and I wanted to match my 4th gen so I went with it and I'm honestly pretty glad I did.

Both your 'Birds are nice!! The Hooker has a growl that matches the GTA perfectly, tips look great on the 3rd gen too, kinda '89 Pace car-y.

Re: Hooker Aero Flow Chamber Exhaust on my 89 GTA 5.7

Fantastic! I´ve been seraching a long time for such a quality video on the hooker exhaust system for a thirdgen.
Finally you gave me the decision to buy it next, thank you! Sounds very mean.

Did you modified your engine or is it stock just without cat? Sounds a bit like modified.
Greetings from Germany,

I'll have some more gopro footage this spring so it's easier to hear under throttle!

The engine is completely stock to my knowledge, just has the cat deletes and maybe a little misfire from the plugs fouling out from having a little valve seal leak
