Just installed headrers and poly motor mounts>> The car sounds great now and pulls pretty dang good too. I know the poly mounts were a bitch, but the headers slid in like a glove. I'm very impressed with the quality and fit of the Hooker LT's. Now if I can just figure out how to work my HP Tuners

Yea,...I'm gonna lift up the car,..jack stand it,...Then i'm gonna raise the motor off the k-member just enough to get the mounts in,... Install the headers,....then drop the motor back down and tighten everything up. Does that sound right tho?

I have a funny story from right after I got my headers in last summer or fall or whatever it was. I got everything in and went for a short drive with my dad in the passenger seat. At first what I pulled out it was running rough which I figured was because it hadn't adjusted yet, and the check engine light was on, but that was because of the cat delete. Anyway, I pulled out on the highway like a mile from our house and floored it. My dad asked me "how does it feel" and i said "well it feels at least as strong as it did before so we didn't mess anything up, and it sounds nice." I wasn't hugely impressed though. I had been hearing a ticking noise though, but my dad couldn't hear it, so it didn't worry me much. Then the check engine light started flashing, which seemed weird. I got back and opened up the hood with it running... sparks... lol. One of the plugs somehow popped out after I shut the hood, but before we left(#7 I think). So anyway, I plugged it back in and it ran MUCH smoother. I just thought the funny part was that the headers gained me enough power that I didn't notice that it was a whole cylinder down. I was driving a 7cyl. that felt almost like the 8 from before. I know the difference should have been more than enough to feel it be slower, but I was so excited about getting them done finally I didn't feel it

. Hi. I have a few questions about the Hooker setup you have. Did you get Super Comp 1 3/4, or 1 7/8? I have a '98 and I'm planning on deleting the air, egr, and rear o2's, so I plan on going w/ the headers for the '00-'02 f-bodys' since they don't have the provisions for that stuff. Also, what size o2 extensions did you get for them? I'm trying to get all the little parts ready and waiting before I decide to order my headers. I contacted Holley with some questions, but that was a month ago and I never got a response. Thanks for any info .

. That's what I figured. I tried to find where I read that the ORY fits only 2 diff part numbers, but cannot find it. Now I just need to find a place that has a good price on them. Thanks
