Hooker LT's, what do i need for 01 LS1.
do i need different air tubes or anything? did hooker take care of everthing? i plan on removing all the air pump stuff when i do the LT's. is this a bad idea or not? any tips on installing them?

I have the Hooker LT, Y-pipe and catback on my 2001 SS. Good choice. As for what you need, you'll need the air tubes from a '98-'99 (or block off plates, since you are removing the air stuff) vehicle and an EGR block off plate. Install was easy, follow the direction to a tee, less the part about lifting the car 36". I did the header install in my driveway, by myself. I only raised the car ~20" and used two jack stand and my floor jack. Any other questions, feel free to ask. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Oh, almost forgot. Do not use the Hooker supplied gaskets, I reused my metal OEM gaskets and Ihave no leaks. Also, do not use the supplied bolts, you can reuse the OEM ones from the manifolds.

MRZ28HO , I have an 01 too and I going to be installing the Hookers also, but I want to run cats.....are the collectors 3' or bigger or smaller?, would you or anyone recomend the Random Techs or Carsounds?...and the air stuff you mentioned, is that the A.I.R. Mod that I've read about here and at LS1.com?....and is the parts package for it the one at Pace parts for $21.95?...thanks for letting me ask so many questions... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

I don't know if I already addressed these questions on another board, but I am happy to do it again! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Those two are the best cats available on the market. My friend's SS (has SLP-LTs) has the RT cats. Random Techs are the best flowing, but most expensive. Some of the members from a local 3rd gen club I am part of run the CarSound cats, I will be running one in my 3rd gen Z28 as well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Yes, I believe that is the same. Yes, you can get it at Pace.
