Hooker LT's are on!
Hooker LT's are on! I got them today and couldn't help but to put them on. Only two issues. One-I'd like to kick the GM engineer in the nuts that put the back bolt on the coil packs! :lol Two- Hooker needs to address the driver side 02 location. I had to hack the heat sheild and wrap the fuel lines. Other than that they are awesome and the install wasn't bad at all. I did 95% of it by myself. Of course I had to fire them off open and **** off the neighbors at 1 AM. They sound great through the B&B. I'll take it for a drive in the AM as I'm beat!

Re: Hooker LT's are on! I had to do the same thing with my hooker LT's. that is my only complaint about them. had them for a few months now and still love them very much. glad you got em on. now you need to go to the track and see that mph jump up. i gained 1.7 mph in the 1/4 mile.
Re: Hooker LT's are on! Any tips on how to stop the y pipe from banging the floorboard? It is hitting pretty bad. I'm letting the car cool now and will monkey with it after while. The car pulls like a beast and I'm sure I'm getting some false KR from the y pipe. After I get the y pipe fixed I'm going to Autotap and start tuning via MAFT.
Also, I did remove the coil packs on the passenger side. The back bolt is not going back in either! :lol Thanks guys!

Re: Hooker LT's are on! The y pipe is taken care of. Just needed some adjustment and it is perfect now. I guess at 2 AM anything looks like it fits well! :lol I'm very happy with the system. Now let the MAFT tuning began. Thanks for the input.
As far as tools needed, a short stubby ratchet is a big plus. A 1 in extension, 10mm sockets and wrenches, plenty of light as some of the bolts are buried, and ALOT of patience and bandaids! Can't forget the bandaids. Not much skin left on my hands. :lol

A short, stubby ratchet will help when you try to take off, and put on, the rear passanger header bolt. I used an air wrench to remove the frozen bolts on the factory Y. An air ratchet would save you alot of time removing the header bolts.
