Thumbs up Just installed 3" ATR single shot exhaust....WOW

I just installed my 3" single shot stainless exhaust from ATR and WOW! Does it ever sound awsome. It has a nice rumble and it was a snp to install. I do miss the look of my dual Hooker 2.5, but this sounds meaner. Highly recomend their products and the fit is great. I polished the stainless pipe up and it looks like chrome now. Single pipe will take some getting used to.

hi Spoolin'!...I have the same system as you do and I had the whole complete system polished!... Of course I missed the dual pipes at first, but I since got used to it, especially since I'm running as fast at the track through this exhaust system as I was running with a fenderwell dump tube!!...
If you want to see pictures, just e-mail me as I'm not here on a regular basis...'bye!

Claude.

Let us know what you think of it in a week.

I just put the ATR crossflow 3" on the GN in Stainless steel, decent product only had to make one modification to a pipe. Sounds deep and mellow, not quite as free flowing as yours but....

Too bad I won't get a chance now to run it until spring. Winter is here and the GN is now tucked away to bed for the next 5 month's. Come on spring!

Good one Salvage! I had a Jack Cotton single shot on my GN for about 200 miles and sawzalled the thing off. Couldn't take the drone and my wife and son didn't want to ride in the car. (that can be good for some people!) Went back to a Hooker cat back and love the way it sounds with the cat removed and the Aerochamber mufflers.

I have the hooker exhaust with Dynomaxx mufflers and I love it!! It sounds great! It has been on for four years and is all carbed up and sounds deep and mean....yet quite when I want it to be.

I love my 3" single shot. I am using a 3" welded Ultra Flow muffler. The drone is not bad with the Ultra Flow.

Spoolin, are you going to sell your Hooker set up?

I remember when I had my 3" single shot. I used to go to the mall and go under the parking lots and just gun it and maan that thing screams like a gorilla! Turned a lot of heads with that exhaust too. Now I have 3" duals because I couldn't stand the drone of the single shot. The 3" duals sound perfect and have a nice rumble.
