I posted the videos b/c I figured you might not believe me, lol. I was VERY surprised the first time I fired it up w/ the Hookers on it. It's quiet enough that I actually don't really like it, lol. I've just been so used to it being loud for so long.
I normally race it w/ a pair of 4" Bullets right off the collectors, but the street car class I've been running they kinda frown on that b/c they are obviously real loud. I have not compared the Hooker system w/ my other "race" mufflers. I also have a pair of 4" one chamber Flowmasters I use occasionally just b/c I like the way they sound. They are wayyy louder than the Hookers are. The Flowmasters are what I've always run on the street.
The 4" H pipe setup w/ the Hooker mufflers weighs about 60 lbs. so I'm sure just the weight alone is hurting it.
