Hooker, Kooks, or Jet-Hot???

Which Headers Sound The Nicest As Well As Perform The Best. I Have Heard Some Things About The Hookers, With Install Problems. What Are Your Thoughts?
Thanks, Ryan

QTP with HVMC if your spending that much, they just came down in price and I think are the best deal out for headers now.

kooks...never had a problem...went stainless steel and they were easy to install. I went with 1 3/4..but people still gain power with the 1 7/8 probably because of the flow characteristics and vortex creation(s) in the larger tubing and design of the particular header

These are my dyno numbers stock and simply bolting the headers and kooks y-pipe and dynoing (catless)

STOCK 342HP and 352TQ
Headers 356HP 375TQ

That Y-pipe also flows a ton of air.

Have patience installing it. The LT's on the other hand, slide right in.

QTP HVMC's tuck up real nice. The collector is even smaller in diameter (about 2.5-2.75") due to the venturi cone than conventional collectors (usually 3").
