hooker aerochamber...really deep sounds really nasty and even though its a chambered muffler you can see straight through it so it flows really good plus you don't have a fm like everyone else haha make sure your not using laptop speakers or it will sound ****ty haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFu1Z...eature=related

I have now replaced the Flowmaster mufflers 2 times. 40 Series, non-stainless.

They do rust out. But, IMHO, they just sound badass, so I keep buying them.

same here my next one will be a super 44 in stainless prolly gonna order it soon, just wish they made the same one i have now in stainless, i bet i can contact them and they will make it i got weird inlet outlet sizes on mine 3" in dual 2.25" out, if i can get 2.5"in that would be awesome cause thats the actual size of the stock pipe on there right now

edit: im in the process of adding a vid of my exhaust sitting still and doing a drive by should be up soon just gotta wait for my droid to upload it and for it to get processed by youtube

call me devious but i just wanted to see bigfoot come running out of those trees and steal your camera lol.

Back on topic, If you want a deep sounding muffler I would go with a Magnaflow, if you want a brighter sounding muffler go with a flowmaster.

Yes I know there is no such thing as too loud but I ment as in like when I leave a 6 am my neighbors wont be pissed at me. Its really all personal preference some like that raspy sound where others dont. I think on the 4.7's the hooker and the flowmaster sound good where as on the 5.2 and bigger sound better with the magnaflow. Plus everyone in my town has a fm so I thought im going to be different and do a mf

i actually couldn't agree with that more, my buddy has a 5.2 ram with a fm and it sounds like crap(prolly has a hole somewhere in the system)
but i love mine being loud, i live for the most part in the middle of nowhere although everything i need is 10mi away and i dont care about my neighboors, we have one of those awesome streets where nobody talks to anybody, i dont even know my neighboors names lol
and SpencerS i aint gotta worry bout bigfoot here, there aint no mountains its all flat, and i mean flat, aint no hills unless they are on a golf course lol

Yeah well I wish I didnt have any neighbors well we have no one to the left of us but to the right one is my history teacher and the other is a die hard hunter both are actually good neighbors and dont complain at all. We do at times make a lot of noise too not to mention now that my beater jeep is only running a cat(4.0's l6's sound mean with just a cat lol) I like to take it around the block to air it out a bit lol

I live in an apartment complex. I regularly **** off tons of neighbors, I am sure. They need to take a chill, IMO. I don't get all bent when they come bumping through at 2:30 in the morning with window rattling bass...

I would tell anyone complaining about a street legal (well, here at least) exhaust that they should consider, were they not so lucky to live in the US, they might have better things to complain about...

Like having no food, or religious choice, or freedom of speech, or any of so many other things that we take for granted every day.
