Just wondering who has a hooker cat-back system. I don't wanna go the flowmaster route cause it seems like everyone runs it. Sounds good but I'd like soemthing a little diff. Anyway who's running hooker cat-back??? I wanna hunt you down at a meet soon or something and give a listen.

 

i have one, not on the car yet,. should be on soon

 

Buudy of mine (who has my EXACT car, cept for an auto versus my T-5) has the Hooker 3" system. Dual chrome tips, very nice. I've got the 3" single cat Flowmaster American Thunder TPI setup on my car.

His car has more of a deep, bass, rumble to it, but it's quieter.
My car is a little more tin-like, but it's louder.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably get the Hooker because of the fact that the tips it came with look way better than the Flowmaster setup. My Flows is a single out, and it's just a turn-down. No tip.

I've heard that 350's with my setup sound a lot better (lower, deeper sound), tho.

 

i have got dual hooker aerochambers. they sound very nice. very low rumble.

 

Does Hooker make a single 3" inlet with dual 2 1/2in outlet Aerochamber muffler?

could only find single 2 1/2in inlet and dual 2 1/2in outlet aerochamber muffler on summit.

 

hmmm...the one that everyone on these boards runs is the 3" in, dual 2.5" out, so i know they make one.

 

i looked on the holley website. the part number is 21729HKR. 3" in, dual 2.5" out.

 

awesome, thx much darbleinad

 

I have this one: PN 16823 for engine codes G, F and 8 along with Hedmans.

I really like the sound of it even on my crapped out LG4.

I think the tips are now being made out stainless - the older ones were just chrome and the rusted bad.

Edit: I'm referring the to the cat-back - 3" i-pipe etc. and I think it's 2.5" out.

 

I have the hooker cat back...sounds really nice..you wont be disappointed

 

where'd you guys all get yours from? thinking of ordering from Jegs pn 16822 for $205 + Shipping. not sure how much duty/taxes I'd pay tho...

 

yah i got that one last year for 199...i guess the price wet up 6 bucks, it will cost you 400cdn by the time its here, that taxes, duty and all thast **** in.that what is cost me total..

 

sheesh... well if I can't find it cheaper this side of the border I'm driving down, buying and installing there. That's nutty.

 

There's no duty on car parts and if you have it expedited properly, brokerage and taxes don't hurt that much.

As for the flowmaster not having enough bass or being too mellow, its not the muffler, its your y-pipe and cat. the combo of those two stocker pieces make the car sound like crap.

The change in tone and feel from my exhaust is incredible. can't wait to get my headers on it...

 

so if I were to have it shipped saying the exhaust was a stock OE part I would be ok is what you're saying?

 

Under NAFTA, there can't be any duty charges applied to parts made in North America for cars. Only tax can, PST I believe, but I'd have to double check my shipping records for parts.

 

hey, why go pay big bucks when all you need is a muffler and 3" pipe. I bought my 2 chamber 80 series (loudest, baddest of flowmaster) for 80 bucks canadian, and went to a muffler shop, had it installed for 125$ canadian. 3" from my DUAL cats, and 2 21/2 pipes out back. its really baddass in idle, and is really loud when i feed it some gas (5.7). mY .02

 

Yeah I definately feel ripped off now, I bought a Hooker Aerochamber cat-back during the summer from Karbelt and after taxes it cost me about $680!

I have always looked through the Jegs and Summit Racing catalogues, but I always thought that after the exchange rate, shipping and taxes were included the price would be way more. I guess I was wrong!

 

Ya ...thats what I say too .....the 3" I- pipe and then a " 40 " series muffler


BTW arent the 40 series the " badass " ones ....instead of the 80 series?
