Just saw the complete blackheart offerings on Bangshift.com. and noticed you sell a replacement body brace. Never realized in the pictures that it had been taken off. I have a midmount torque arm setup on my car (it mounts where the factory body brace was) and it clears my 3" catback. Have you tried to see if an aftermarket midmount crossmember will fit with your exhaust? I know I could mod mine if needed, but would like to know before I start ripping my exhaust off.

I really can't say, but it's highly likely the Hooker system will not be compatible with your torque arm set-up. Can you post up some photos of it?

According to Texas Speed they start shipping the 50 state version on the 15th. Is that when Holley is releasing them to all venders that will carry it, or only when Texas Speed will have them?

A release of a product for shipment carries the same availability for all of our resellers. However, if a reseller does not have the product entered into their system then you will have difficulties ordering the part from them. I can tell you that the 50-state versions will not be ready by the 15th as we are running behind on production currently.

I just learned this system exists two days ago, I'm ordering it! I've been daily driving my 383 LS6 HCI 02 Z28 with 3" true duals dumped for a month or so while I'm swapping my 2000 Hombre. I basically get up on rainy days wishing I had a Y-pipe and exhaust out the back because it's so loud. Staring longingly at that Kooks system hasn't gotten me over that sticker shock. While I wish this was 3", it's worth the price difference compared with the Kooks!

I'll be ordering the 304SS kit and retrofitting it to my TSP 1 7/8 LTs, thanks for making this kit, Hooker!

Default New Hooker 4th-gen F-body Headers and Exhaust Coming Soon

I visited the Holley trailer at LSFest and the guy there told me that a long tube header from Blackheart was real close to production. He told me to stay in touch with the tech dept to know when to place my order. He said they were building them as tight to the firewall and floorboards as possible to leave as much ground clearance as possible. I've tried calling the tech dept 3 different times and never got through. I'm guessing with LSFest and the good guys show in town they are really thin. Have you got any insight on any long tube Blackheart headers for the F-body Camaro?

I think the guy you spoke to was confusing the new 3rd gen LS swap headers we have coming out with the 4th gen application. I can tell you without a doubt that no long-tube headers are currently in development for the 4th gen F-body. Do you have the name of the individual you spoke to?

I asked for his name or a card, but he said anyone in the tech dept could help me. He was late 20s, 6ft about 240 with sandy hair. We were looking at the F-body mid length headers on the display and there were some 5th Gen long tubes hanging beside them. He said 4th Gen were in mock up and should release by month end. Of course he could be mistaken too. He thought that they would adapt to the cat back exhaust system easier, so I have a cat back system on order that if you are correct, I need to get cancelled and just go the mid length route.

I think I know who that would be by your description...he was definitely mistaken with that information. We will be releasing 3rd-gen LS swap long tube headers by the end of the month, but nothing additional for the 4th-gen platform at this time.

You're right, 2 weeks is way too long on my part. Hold on, leaving work now to drive up to Colorado to get it, then drive overnight back home to install it to get you a video ASAP

Remember...no beer drinking until after the job is finished.
