I'd like to see a comparison on the vehicle, same dyno, on the same day. If I'm not mistaken the AeroChamber has a better price than Magnaflow or Corsa.

While I think performance is marginal on exhausts when comparing various systems. Will you really feel <10 ft/lbs of torque?

More so, we all know that Flowmasters are loud and obtrusive.
Corsa's are quiet until you get on it with little to no resonance in the cab (but the cost is absurd)
Magnaflow's catbacks are quiet with a resonance around 1800RPM
Magnaflows mufflers 20" or larger are uber quiet as well.

How does tha Aero Chamber compare in terms of sound levels, resonance levels, etc.

i've heard them on r/t's and hemi's and they sound good. not too loud when idle or crusing, sort of a lil rummble, and deep loud sound when hammered down. i have yet to hear one on a nbs truck except for flyers...

I didnt have them on a F/S truck. What I can say is that they are slightly louder and have a bit more interior resonance than a Dynomax super turbo. On the vehicle I used them on they sounded similar to a Flowmaster, but more tame inside the cab.

Sound levels at idle are bearly noticeable. Cruising speeds is just a little louder than stock. Now when accelerating in traffic where the truck is under a load between the 2000 - 2800 rpms there is some resonance (not as bad as a 2 chamber flowmaster). WOT, in my opinion, sounds perfect.

I've heard many different exhaust on the 99-05 model trucks at the track. I didn't want an exhaust that sounded like my 15 second 1/4 mile truck should be a 9 second 1/4 mile truck and the Aerochamber provided the sound I was looking for.
