I HAD A PAIR OF HOOKER AIRO CHAMBER MUFFLERS ON A BIG BLOCK IN A 71 SHORT FLEET, & WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THEM. THEY SOUNDED GREAT & SEEMED TO BE REALLY WELL MADE. JOHN

i just put some hooker aero-chambers on mine about 3 weeks ago, they sound GREAT. very well made, outflow flowmasters and are cheaper!

I have hooker aero chambers on my 68 with 350 SB, they sound great, and don't reverberate in the cab. You won't be disapointed with them.

Hooker Super Comps are headers, not mufflers. Is he selling headers OR mufflers?

orange72350 · 09-12-2003, 07:58 PM

yeah, they are mufflers. i saw them today. i was almost positive they were super comps. maybe not. oops. doesnt matter now, they are on the truck. they sound so mean. its a big step up in sound and power. huge difference over the stock mufflers and pipes. they sound so kewl. thanx alot guys

Sound clip....sound clip...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-13-2003, 10:12 AM

Aero chamber's rock and they cost wqay less the flowmaster's

Hotrod70C10 · 09-13-2003, 10:47 AM

I'll keep these in mind when I get my exhaust redone... I'm going to go with some shorty headers and 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 pipe. Does anyone have a sound clip of these mufflers?

70c10 · 09-13-2003, 12:05 PM

MTDAVE2 has a sound clip of Magnaflows that sound really good.

dion · 09-13-2003, 01:23 PM

How do they sound compared to the flows? I've been wanting to ditch my 40's for somthing else but I haven't heard anything that I really like yet. Everything sounds too muffled, you know like when guys with brand new trucks put a single 3 inch pipe?
I'm thinking about going with the flow delta 50's.
I found a web site that has sound clips of different engines with different mufflers, none of them really sounded that great to me but what can you expect from a sound clip, the Hooker's weren't on there.

miket · 09-13-2003, 01:26 PM

Here is a narrative site on different mufflers

And here is my page of clips with a few on there but no Aero's yet
