Default Trying to decide on a new exhaust...

Like the title says, I'm trying to decide on a new exhaust. Right now I have a Hooker Aero and it's alright just way too quite. Good tone, but not nearly loud enough. I was looking into a dynomax race bullet, but all the videos on youtube had terrible quality and it's really hard to tell if it has a good tone or not. I was hoping maybe thunder could chime in here.

Anyone else have an exhaust they really like? I would like it to be pretty loud, but with good tone and not a lot of drone. I spend a lot of time on the highway and don't really want to have my ears ringing when I get off lol.

Kinda just looking for ideas and open to any suggestions.

I would like to get a high flow cat but the spintech ones are pricey for me right now. A racebullet is only $45, a spin tech cat is twice as much. I would love to get a high flow cat though. We'll see.

atleast get the racebullet to swap the aerochamber thing. hiflow can wait till you get money or if you find another brand thats cheaper. but when you do hiflow is a must.

Hi flow cats always make exhausts sound better. When I get the money for one ill throw my duals back on but I am quite fond of my dumped exhaust haha. Anyway my brother in law has a dynomax on his hemi ram and it sounds sick. From what I have heard they sound really good on any v8 thats my next route when I get tired of my magnaflow.

thanks dude. they do make longer size racebullets, ive got a shorter one so its going to naturally be louder and probably have more drone. just depends if you dump it or run pipe out the back.


oh btw ive got 3inch piping from cat to the bullet.
