I wasn't to impressed by them...For one, the welds from the primaries to the flange are only on one side...And, they are not sanded down smooth to the flange itself...Plus, I had a primary break apart from its weld right where it meets the flange...Only good thing about them is that the fitment was great...I bought them about 4 years ago so I don't know if they have changed...
I would save up for a stainless set...Either the kooks or QTP's would be a great choice...

HOOKERS are made in Mexico as far as I know. They were a few years ago anyway..A friend got some, and the warranty card inside said MADE IN MEXICO.

I had a set when they first came out and they were great. My buddy got a set of their 1 7/8" and i wasn't impressed. The plug wires are touching them and one of the welds wasn't complete. he had to send them back.
