The quality of Hooker products: Where did it go?

On The Tree
Bought and installed my Hooker CB back in late February and installed it. Only problems were they only sent me one clamp and that clamp was too small for any of the pipes, the tail pipes don't line up straight with the slots in the bumper. They point slightly outward and sit too far out. Not really noticeable unless you are looking for it. Planning on getting it straightened out later. I also had to use an expander on one of the tips because it wouldn't fit over the pipe. Other than that everything installed fine. I have a little rattle coming from the over-axle pipe hitting the heat shield when the engine is cold, but it goes away once everything warms up.

Did I mention I tried 2 different sets of Hooker 1 3/4 headers...wasted countless hours taking a huge chunk out of my passenger side K-member and 3 weeks downtime ordering and both sides headers wouldn't fit? 
Got a set of Pacesetter that fit like a glove and went right up on the passenger side the driver side I only had to grind down the engine tab which took all of 10 minutes.

Did you ever cut one of the rattlin Areochambers mufflers apart to see whats falling apart? Mine rattles its *** off too! I kinda figured what ever it was would rust on up and get blown out the exaust. But it isn't happening!

Add me to the list of rattling mufflers. I replaced my hooker cat back with Corsa!

Just installed hooker 1 3/4 headers, slid in like butta. Driver side collector was a bit off and had to work the k member slightly, other then that no problems. I didn't even have to grind the block tabs. Hope they don't disintegrate first time a give it a good run
