Re: hooker long tube question I also have the Jet-Hot coated Hooker LT's. I think it's worth getting the coated headers. My Hookers had several quailty issues, all could be fixed but carefully inspected before starting your install.
1/4 gap had to be rewelded
lots slag in the primaries on several tubes
O2 bung misaligned sensor wouldn't screw in, had to be groundout and retapped
flange needed to be filed to make it level
As for sound, it will be very loud w/o cats with almost catback. A SLP dual/dual can keep a catless set up reasonabley quiet.
The headers have been fine since installed with rest of package.

Re: hooker long tube question I've hooker LT with custom ORY 2.5" and custom made flange cutout 2.5", the sound is awesome and i have a video but inshalla soon i will posted, i won at 1/4 just 4 mile's from HLT, befor headers 110 mph after headers 114 mph at 1/4, and i post that befor and many advice me to tuning (LS1edit) the pcm for a good flow and fuel and many things can do it!
But now i sell the hooker and i am going to buy a MAC's cuz my friend install mac after the hooker LT and the car get more power than hooker, now i want to tried the mac.
LT is super easy to install but the MAC need a hard work, my advice MAC's will be so enough for the performance, especially the future.
Best of luck

Re: hooker long tube question I have the Hooker LT and ORYP on my car with a borla, and OMG...It is crazy loud. I love it, some say it sounds bad, just your preferance. I dont have any dyno numbers, but you can tell a differance when you are driving. Oh ya, mine are painted, no rust yet...after 2 months so far.
