Default Hooker axle backs

Has anybody else heard these? Man, the sound is absolutely incredible.[sm=yikesomg.gif]
Anybody have them yet? I would like to know if they are of good quality. You can listen at:

I think this is with the full exhaust, headers and all. Not just the mufflers....

Dang! You just burst my bubble. Yeah, you are probably right. But it does sound good.

Hooker is a good company, you can't go wrong with them and the mufflers are where most of the sound and tone come from. Headers and mids add a little but nothing like the mufflers.

I am definitely back on the header bandwagon now that Hooker has released headers for the 05 GTs. And at about 1/2 the price of the JBAs.

Me to. Especially red heads whose carpet matches the drapes.

So would you guys say this would be a worthwhile buy? I was looking at the FRPP but have not heard one thing about them yet. And I don't know too many people (actually none) that install hooker exhaust componets on Mustangs. Of course, I could be wrong which somebody will correct I hope.

I dont know anyone with the Hooker exhaust. Like I said earlier, I am definitely interested in their headers. Lethal Performance has them for pretty darn good prices.

As for FRPP, I don't know I would invest in their headers, or any shorty headers for that matter. But their mufflers kick butt. I have a set on my GT. They are Borla Stingers for 1/2 the price!

How is the sound with the ford racing mufflers? Significantly better than stock?
