Headers i know there are a bunch of post on which headers are better, but i haven't seen one that talks about hooker super comp headers. does anybody have these on there car? i between hooker and ar lt.
Pacesetter Lts are the cheapest...Most go w/ them. The best are probably kooks, but they cost alot because there stainless...All Lts generally put out the same hp numbers though.
I have had super comps on 2 different LS1's. They were both uncoated and looked terrible after a few thousand miles. They are good performers for the price however. I would put them in the moderate price range. I would go with the stainless header in your case. They are destined to have about the same output.

I would either buy pacesetters or AR if I was willing to spend the money on stainless headers. For inexpensive headers, the coated pacesetters are hard to beat. I really like the new AR headers though, and haven't heard one complaint about fitment or how they look. They would be my first choice, funds permitting.
i have flowtechs on my car, and they fit great. They rest against the pinch weld on the drivers side k member just a tad, but you coudl easily grind that area off before hand. I have seen many headers touch in this area.

yeah, only problem I ran across. But like everyone says, each fitment can be abit different. They fit great for me. IM thinking they are the same as the hookers, but i cant say forsure 100%

There is no reason to buy Flowtechs when they cost the same as Pacesetter and the Pacesetter headers is much better.
The Flowtech header only has a 1/4" flange compared to the 3/8" flange on the Pacesetter.

My Pacesetter LT's and Y pipe came today. DO NOT waste your money on the hooker's.
i got my flowtechs for 200 shipped new, so i cant complain. If i had to buy them at regular cost, i would probbly buy pace setters. Was just letting him know that i had flowtechs, and no issures.

I have the hooker lt's and they fit great. They never ever leaked or have any problems with them. But 2 days ago the egr port blew out of the header. Now it is to thin to weld up so its time for new headers after 4yrs.
I am going with Kooks now so i never have to do headers again.
