The internal baffles/baffling is different. As a result, each will flow differently producing different power as well as different sound and tone.

You cant get a 3" inlet cross flow Hooker without getting it as part of the catback.

Got Beach?

 

Which one is louder? Which one has a deeper sound?

 

It might be something to look into but I have heard rumers about the edelbrock mufflers. I have heard the mustang guys that have tried these mufflers say the internals come apart in the Edelbrock. I don't know how true this is but it could be a factor in your desicion.

 

There are sound clips of the Hooker in a recent post. I have it and sounds awesome.

I've got the Edelbrock RPM series on my 82 Z28 with stock manifolds and cat. It sounds decent at idle, but sounds sweet at of above 2500 RPM.

If I where you I wound go with the edelbrock or the flowmaster, 2 diffrent sound ing systems but both sound great. I think the hooker system is for older muscle cars, it just has that sound to it.

Had a AeroChamber for about a year. Seems to be a well constructed piece. Not to loud at idle, but it does wake up at WOT.
