I will say, the Racebullet sounds a lot like what I got right now. I kind of like the Hooker Aerochamber right now, and I have been hearing good things about those Aero mufflers.

keep in mind that nothing will flow better than a straight thru design. which ever muffler you choose is your choice, but upgrade to the spintech hiflow cat. you wont regret it.

Well, the Hooker Aerochamber is straight through, it has a venturi in it though.

I would stick to the 2.25 true dials also when I changed my exauhst to my side pipes I went 3 all the way out and I lost a lot of low end torque, now wishing I went with the 2.5 so I could have kept some of the low end that I had lost but I have a fix for that in the works,and if you do a cat delete you can either get a sim or you can leave the pre cats o2 in and zip tie the after cat one to the frame rail. As far as the sound you're looking for I have no opinion on that I have 30" glass packs and there not really that loud but they have a nice rumble to them @ wot and I hear more of my engine while idling .

I have a Hooker Aero and I not a huge fan of it. I was hoping it would be louder because it really isn't that loud and I have had it on there for a year now. I plan to change it eventually. In my opinion no muffler just sounds bad. Yeah its loud but it sounds terrible. No tone to it. Just loud. Which if that is what you are going for then cool, but not my thing.

I think I might end up going with the dynomax race bullet. I like how your truck sounds thunder.

Is that still considered n/a though? I guess it is, but technically not really?
