Default Hooker Stainless Steel

Just found out that Hooker now offers Stainless Steel headers and are actually really cheap. Tbyrne has them listed at 659.99! Which is cheaper than the coated hookers!

Does anyone run these? Are they the exact same as the others only in stainless? Same flange and collector?

I emailed Tbyrne personally and asked them if it was the correct price and they assured me it is. I was also surprised since I usually see them for 1k.

Hooker has fitment issues? That is the last thing I want when I install anything.

a lot of people gave problems with the 02 sensor and have to bend their heat shields out of the way to make them fit. that is why jet hot's have different bungs. so that is why i was sayin that jerflash!
