Default will hooker LT and MAC headers is same HP/ TQ on stock internal ??

My car has Hooker LT headers. if i installed mac headers (is not LT ) will i lose some HP and TQ or it will be same.

Note: my car is stock internal and heads but i have all free mods with costume Ypip and flowmaster catback.

u might lose a few hp/tq. The LT's make more power accross the RPM band, however on a stock internal car, the difference shouldn't be that much. Why are you thinking of takin off the LT's?

the mac's will peak a few hp lower, but across the whole power band will be less, like mentioed above. the more you mod the car, the more the LT's will shine over the mac's

Actually, some of that isn't completely accurate...

Unless you're running a big cube motor, you will not usually see any more peak RWHP from LT's over the Macs. Macs flow very good up top due to the 1 3/4 primaries. LT's on average make a little bit more mid range, but Macs can be modded to flow equally well. As for the Hooker design itself, I have seen back to back dyno's on cars going from Macs to Hookers and saw zero gains. The only LT header I would personally run over the Macs would be Grotts....
