Default Hooker cat-back? Need help

I have been trying to find the system around my area all day today. Advance Auto Parts couldn't do it, then told me that seeing that it was a new car it would all need to be custom bent. God damn morons can't do anything but push buttons on their computers. Then Auto zone told me that they were either not making it anymore or it had to be backordered but he couldn't do it? Same situation, all they can do is tell you what isle to look for it....idiots. The local speed shop wanted 318 bucks. Pep Boys wanted $459, VIP wanted 452.97. What the hell is going on. Autozone said it would have been 263 bucks. I don't have a credit card, I'm 17. What other choices do I have <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> ?

We carry the Hooker catback. However, they've been on back-order for quite a while now. It's too late to call now, but I will call them first thing tomorrow morning to see if they have any in stock.

I just had my hooker cat-back installed. I had to wait 2 weeks to get it. It is on back order. I got it through a local speed shop who got it directly through holley. I believe holley own's hooker now. I paid $270.95 plus installation. Check out thunder racing over there -------->

I think they sell it for $279. It'll still be on back order though.

I spoke to Angie at Thunder Racing last Friday (7/12) and they "had" like 10 Hooker Cat-backs in stock... Well, 9 after I talked to her! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Should be here tomorrow! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

How much did you pay for shipping? I have like 280 cash on me, got no credit card. Maybe my sister will let me borrow her debit card.

The guys at Advanced Auto parts are a bunch of dipshits. I ordered my catback from there, you just don't tell them what it actually is.

Check out Thunder racing, that will probably be your best bet..

I'd say you're going to wait at least 10 business days. Expect it anytime after that.
