Another VERY happy Hooker Catback owner!

Put the Catback on today

Oh this things sounds sweet It feels like a little more power, could just be the noise though We'll find out in a few weeks when I get back to the track.

The system is great, bolted RIGHT up. No special modding, etc. Only problem we had was the passenger tip was cocked to the right so we just cut the pipe going into the muffler about ~1/2".

GIT R DONE Hooker!!

how much hp can that hooker catback safely support, like will it be choking a 300-350-400 RWHP car??? Just wondering if it wouldnt be a good choice for a high HP car???

When I unhooked the Hooker 3" cat-back from my 3700 lb car, it ran the same 10.40 at 133 mph as before.

Once you get to the 400 RWHP range, I found that a 4" system or 3" true duals work better for it.

I switched from the duel outlet Flowmaster to the hooker, and the sound difference is absolutely awesome.

I ran some high 11s with it bolted up @ 115-116 (car is a pig too)
