im fixin to order some pacesetters for my 5.3 and wonder whether to go with the aerochambers or magnaflow mufflers

 

I would go with the MagnaFlow. Pacesetters and MagnaFlow is what I am going with.

 

should i go with true duals? and where should i dump them

 

Duals are cool, not my personal choice. Most people dump them before the axle.

 

any reason you're goin with the magnaflows over the hookers? ive heard good things about both but hav never actually got to hear them. what do u think about gettin rid of the cats?

 

It really doesn't matter between these two, they both easily get the job done. I'd go with which ever one you find cheaper..

 

Which sounds better? Any sound clips?

 

both are a good free flowing muffler. i personally rather the hooker. just my opinion.

 

Im running pacesetter LT's, O/R Y-pipe and a hooker aerochamber and turndown. I have everything except the y-pipe sittin in my garage. Ill be ordering the y-pipe hopefully sometime this week.

I was going to run duals but from what i understand, the y-pipe performs better on these trucks. I hear the duals are overkill unless your pushing an extreme amount of power to actually need that much flow.

I have also heard people say that the duals will help out your top end but the y-pipe will help out your low end power. Im running the y-pipe cause its easy and slips right on to the headers. In order to run duals, i would either have to weld flanges to the headers or just weld the whole setup solid which would damage the protective ceramic coating on the headers and make for one hell of a time if i ever need to take them off.

I say... Run the y-pipe and aerochamber. I cant wait to get mine installed!

 

what case sounds better with the magnaflows for a deep but aggressive tone with no rasp or drone?
