Go With BORLA ProXcess Mufflers with no cats they have a unique sound. At wide open throttle you will hear it and at cruise you will like it. Give them a try you will like them the nice deep powerful sound...

Thanks for the help so far guys!!! I am still a little undecided. I am leaning toward the hooker aerochambers though...

From what i have heard outside of this post, alot of people like the bullets in comparison to alot of the other brands.

Anyone heard of spintech mufflers? Are they any good?

All help here is very appreciated. Im hoping i can finally get the perfect exaust setup as far as both sound and performance goes.

I know it is pricey but my suggestion is for Corsa Exhaust - Touring Edition, I absolutely love my Corsa Exhaust w/ LT Headers and no cats. My truck sounds meaner than it did with the flowmasters and is really quiet when I am just cruising around.

By the way, My old setup was Edelbrock shorties, Factory Y-pipe w/ cats, Magnaflow X-pipe, 2 - Flowmaster 50 series deltaflow. This setup sounded really good but nothing compared to what I have now.

I like the corsa but im not sure if i want to spend all the money for their stuff. lol. Its kinda pricy. Plus, i like for the truck to still have a good rumble to it when your cruising and really scream when you get on it. Im just looking for a different set of mufflers to try. I still want something loud and mean. I love the noise and the resonance inside the cab doesnt bother me at all. I just turn the system up a little louder. lol. I want something that will make the truck sound intimidating!!!!

Maybe i just stick with the race bullets?? The hooker aerochambers look like a good set but im not sure if they would be loud enough even without cats. I like the flowmaster sound without cats but they suck for performance.

I would get rid of the x-pipe since it quiets the exhaust but the performance makes enough difference to keep it. I may also pick up a set of edelbrock shorties off my buddy for my truck.

I am going crazy here!!! lol. Too many damn options and i cant make up my mind on a good set of mufflers!!

1. Dynomax Race bullets
2. Hooker aerochambers
3. magnaflow

Does anyone have a sound clip of my O/R magnaflow X-pipe setup with the hooker aerochambers????

How loud are the hookers without cats??? I heard they were quiet with cats but im hoping its a totally different story without em. I dont want to have to swap back to the bullets. lol.

I found a set of hookers in the DFW area. Lucky me, I have a 2 hour layover there in DFW on my way home and the guy said he will bring them to the airport so i can take them home with me. They only have 100 miles on them and they look brand new. Both mufflers with turndowns for 50 bucks. I guess i might as well try it for that price since i wont have to ship.

How do the hookers compare to the bullets or magnaflow mufflers performance wise??? I have heard they are rated in the same range as basanni and borla mufflers.....
