Headers going on!

[87blackroxi]

I have driven my girlfriend absolutely mad this week because all I can talk about are the pair of Hooker Headers going in the vette on saturday. So I thought I would give her a break and let it out to y'all.
In january I cut off my cats and drove in to AdvancedAutoCC's shop and he welded up a true duals x pipe exhaust leading into magnaflows with some nice tips. Well, I now have enough $$$ to finish the job with the Hooker headers. I feel like a little kid again! I have been staring at the headers in the summit catalog all week.
I will definatley post some pics and hopefully put a sound clip too.

This is how I have been feeling today!:W

I know just how you feel. Let us know how she sounds/performs when she comes down from the lift! Should be pretty sick!

Don't forget to use tape!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. The day I first saw my new set or Hooker Super Comps was a very exciting day. My wife thought that was rather strange...

Hey 'roxi, I'm jealous. I've been wanting headers so bad I can taste it.
I've got some other more pressing issues first.
Enjoy

 

[Mad-Mic]

be prepared for about a 30 rwhp increase

you'll love them!

Enjoy

Y'all are making it worse! I am sitting here at work with 15 minutes left to go before I drive to cape coral with the vette. Reading the above post of 30rwhp is making me insane . I am now annoying my workmates by showing them pictures of the headers.

They all get a kick out of "hooker" headers. they think I am adding a prostitute to the car:L

with my lil itty bitty mods i have on my car i pulled over 50+ rwhp and 70 rwtq and the headers were a big part of it!

just thought i'd make it worse for you until tomorrow!

is your pooper tingling yet? :L

I picked up even more than Mad-Mic.... when I ran true dual exhaust out my side pipes... I must have picked up a good 80 horse... Granted my car is old school compared to yours.... Tuned headers are one of the best bang for the buck power adders for SBC's.

All the anticipation is worth the wait.... when you start her for the first time it will be like losing your virginity all over again! Then you get to go wail on it!!

Enjoy!

L98 cars will easily see 30 rwhp due to the constrictive 1 1/8 primary shorties thats on the car now.

long tubes rock!

this is right after i did the install and fired it for the first time last year! gutted cat and dumps off the rear Y pipe. ( no mufflers )

Come on, you've been talking to the GF about Hookers coming in at the end of the week. What do you expect?:L:L:L

 

[vetteboy86]

All this damn talk about horses, has almost got me ready to order them right now. I know that the TPIS ones will fit nicely. I am very curious to see how the hooker headers fit.

You will have to post some pics of the install if you can. Also which headers did you get, do you have a part number from summit?

 

[Edmond]

He got the Hookers. These are the parts number from Summit Racing:

HOK-2151 HKR

HOK-2149 HKR

One of them is for an emissions compliant header but I can't remember which one it is!

Both 2149 and 2151 are ceramic coated.

They don't come with a y-pipe, though. I think the y-pipe is about $140 or so.

 

[vetteboy86]

All this talk about them is making me want to spend the money. Those are alot cheaper then the TPIS. I think I might wait until I find out what happens with this car. Plus my bro wants the TPIS so we will see how easy they go on.

 

[87blackroxi]

Well, they're on!!!!!!

pics tomorrow.
Just finished a 2 hour drive home and am too tired to do anything but relax.
until tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear!!! Tell us now!! :W

I spent $1450.00 on stall headers and I looked at them and the 17/8 ports are to small.
Now I am not sure what to do?
Looks like they sized them up the wrong way when making them.:eyerole
I just sit and look at them with a little heat.ad

how is 1 7/8" primaries too small? thats big block headers there :L

 

[redc4corvette]

I have AFR 220 heads and the header port is longer than tall on the headers and the heads are the opsite.I think they screwed up when they measured the port size for the headers.

Which headers did you get?

By the way, those AFR's must be awesome, aren't they?

If you didn't see the other post "finally here are the headers" please take a look. I managed to put a few pictures on.
