Wonder which is louder hooker acechamber or magnaflow with round 14" length. I have hooker on it and running obx longtube header with y pipe. Which is no cats on it. I want to see which is louder. I might change hooker want to get louder. But some my friends say I should stay with Hooker. IT sounds good and loud when you floor it. Is that true? Let me show you video of mine.

Not sure on that one, on the clips that I've heard, the Hookers always seemed louder, but I've never heard an Aerochamber in person. Personally, I like the tight Magnaflow sound though.

For a boosted 6.0, I'd probably go a little bigger than single 3"...I plan to run dual 2.5's with an NA LQ9

I think my 3" on y pipe. It came with OBX long tube header and ypipe with catless (highflow cat) But it is fake cats on it.

I believe that the OBX y-pipe is dual 2.5" into single 3", and the resonators will decrease the sound a little more than straight pipe would.

hooker aerochambers are louder than the smallest case magnaflows and sound totally different. I'm about to ditch my aerochamber for the bigest magnaflow i can find to quiet mine down some.
