Any dyno numbers with Hooker catback and LT's??

I've been curious as to how much hp if any i will lose if i switch from my true duals to the hooker catback. Anyone?? I know it wont sound as loud as the true duals but they can get loud sometimes and there is no muffler options either. I may just be getting a spur of the moment deal but i would like to know anyway.

The Hooker Aerochamber cat-back is one of the best out there.

For instance, my car runs 10.40 at 133 mph. I COMPLETELY REMOVED my 3" Hooker Aerochamber cat back exhaust and it picked up ZERO.

This was verified on the dyno, a gain of only ~3 rwhp by removing the Hooker exhaust.

dude dont ditch the duals. Just add an other set of bullets at the end. Or an additional sweet thunder muffer.

I just went to my true duals. And there is no way your going to get the same exhaust note, from a crossflow setup.

I went from quiet to loud to louder now i wanna refine it more. Yes I have been through lots of catbacks etc but i still havent found a nice sounding catback combined with longtubes.

I have 2 bullet mufflers that I might add but i dont think it will quieten it down very much. But you are right, nothing is gonna get that uniqe sound of true duals. Its like they harmonize with each other. Well I guess they do hehe. But i've been thinking of quitening it down a bit so i dont wake everyone up a mile before i get there. But i will miss the sound. Not to mention I kinda miss my tips being a trans am and all with the cutouts in the bumper.
