Default Hooker Areochamber...no good

I installed a Hooker Areochamber 3.5in/3.5out hoping to decrease the resonance inside the cab and its no better than my flowmaster super44. I already ordered a Magnaflow so I'll give that a try next. Word to the wise dont buy an areochamber unless you like your brain rattling inside your skull at 1700rpm

Mine doesn't. Not even when i had it dumped. It's pretty far back though. The back of the muffler is just infront of my rear tire.

I think you'll like the sound better but will still have drone..

I have a 30" magnaflow on the tahoe and in the rear seat its hard to carry on a conversation at 70+ mph..Stock truck except the muffler..
