Salt Water in Michigan? That's new to me.

And I have MAC and they are rusting after one winter in Ohio. I took WD-40 to them and most of it came off.

Hawk's Philosophy.

Any aftermarket exhaust and muffler is better than stock, yes even Flow Master ( my opinion)

I choose Hooker Areo Chamber for three reasons: 1) I had to have a 3" exhaust and a stocker wouldn't cut it lol 2) Everyone had a Flow Master 3) Theres not a lot of Hookers running around my town

I switched from flowmaster 2-chambers to a mac catback. The sound is a little different not much though. Mac has a HTS coating that won't rust. The flows I took off were still in ok shape one muffler had a dent in it but no rust. I've been quite pleased with the mac exhaust so far!

It seems most newer mustangs have bassani exhaust, although I have heard good things the prices are through the roof. It is always nice to try something different. With my budget mac were seemed good enough. How does the Hooker aero chamber mufflers sound compare to the flows?
