New Mufflers...
I have all Hooker exhuast & really hate the mufflers! Typical fiberglass insulation type problems... they blow out, sound like crap, etc... right now they are 3" hooker mufflers. Had some Flomasters on a different car & liked them. I need to get some soon... any reccomendations? Leaning towards Flomasters, but would like to hear suggestions from you too. It is BBC street/strip.

Try typing "restrictive mufflers" in the searc box, you will get 49 results. Alot of good reading. Pay close attention to this one, and the link in it.

Outlaw: this is exactly why I asked... I have heard that somewhere, but I thought it was a rumor. I love the way they sound... but I am looking for the best performance too. All I know is that these are my last Hookers... time for something new.

There was one on SpeedTalk that Joe Sherman started and the link is http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic...light=mufflers
It actually talked about dyno tests and talked about running Magnaflow.
Hope this helps,
