I'm curious as well. I really thought they would be cheaper than they are too. Are they 304 stainless or the cheaper 409 I wonder?

66-2254-2 - Hooker Super Competition Headers, 2000-2002 LS1 F-body (Stainless Steel)

Personally if you're gonna spend $700+ on headers, I'd opt for Kooks/QTP. Considering all the issues lately with emissions fittings on Hooker's ceramic coated mild steel headers, I'm not so sure about their QC. I'll hold my comments about the SS headers til after I see a few people run them.

I'm ditching my hookers for that reason. The ones I had on my 95 were awesome. These are so bad I'm not buying Hookers ever again. Sad...
