Hooker Ceramic Coated Aero Chamber Mufflers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

78SilveradoSWB · 03-22-2003, 03:03 PM

I was checking Summits availability on Hooker Aero Chamber Mufflers and they are now listing a ceramic coated model available around 4-15-03, for about $106 each. Anybody hear anything further about this?

i've heard that $106 is expensive for a muffler and that hopefully the price of the normal ones will go down

or so i've heard

but will say their is some junk out there , just a though..

what is the advantage of these.........never heard of the mufflers being done before............

*rage'nrat638* · 03-22-2003, 06:44 PM

only if you have a show truck the exhaust dont get hot enough
back there to need it...coating on headers is most of all to cut down heat in the engine compartment 2nd to stop rust 3rd looks
good MARK

Is there any sound clips on the net of the aerochambers? Mark why don't you post a sound clip?

Where??? I looked for it & couldn't find it. Could you post a direct link to it b/c you apperently know where it is???

I went on Jegs and the NON coated aerochambers were $57.99 unless you get the model specific (why?) which are $79.99. It seams like they don't carry the coated ones.

LOHRTBT · 03-23-2003, 02:11 PM

WHOA!!! I paid like 38 dollars each for mine through Summit or Jegs. Screw that first price!! lol

Here is a mp3 sound file of a Hooker Aero Chamber on a Mustang.

Price increases on Hooker Aero Chamber mufflers, like everything else increase as steel prices go up. I think Flowmaster is now making stainless steel versions of their 40 & 50 series, and of course with prices in the +$100 price range.

Eric:

You must not have current catalogs or current prices are not listed, but both Jegs & Summit online shows $57.95 for 4.75"X10.25" 3" in/out muffler.
