Who likes their Hookers? Longtubes that is. Just wanted to know what the major opinion of them is. You guys that have them, what do you like and not like about them. Thanks

I am happy with mine so far. They look real good b/c of the coating. 2 issues were the driver's side k-member clearance is close and the O2 location is shi&&y. I have pics in the site in my sig. I would go Jet-hots next time for the easy removal of the O2's. I liked the price and especially I liked the ease of installation. The y-pipe is not very performance oriented, very closed to a T-connection. 2 things though, do not use their bolts, not very easy to start in heads chance of cross threading. The other is their wimpy paper gasket, buy a better one (wish I had

I like mine- 6 months and 3000 miles and no leaks, never bottomed out. Don't use their shity bolts- reuse the stock ones. If you get black- have someone blast the lousy hooker paint off, and then paint them with some hi-temp silicone spray paint. The re-paint on mine still looks new (the original paint burned off on the initial start-up).

I have the Jet Hots which are basically the same design but with a few small improvements, thicker flanges and the 02 bungs are in a easier to access location otherwise the same. I love them! Easy to install and no fitment issues. I noticed you have an LS6 cam. I installed my LT's after I installed my previous LS6 cam and boy they really woke that cam up. I mean I could feel gains all over the powerband especailly over 4000 rpms. I can tell you from experience that the LS6 cam likes longtubes.

I like mine all around. they gave me a real good gain of HP/TQ. never had and clearence issues w/ them other than the low y-pipe but just dont go fllying over bumps. Just got them back from Jet-Hot for a re-coat. after 12 months the coating looked like hell. but it was a free so not a problem.
