Re: Question about Hooker Exhaust?? Cool, thanks! Anyone ahd this done before? I really do not want to ruin my tips for this. Maybe i could just buy the front I-pipe and muffler from someone? Anyways, any more info would kick ***. <img src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" border="0" alt="[fight]" /> Thanks!

Re: Question about Hooker Exhaust?? Nope sorry tips wont fit, guess you just gotta sell them to me <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
The Hooker is a 3in. exhaust but the tailpipes are 2.5 as I believe they prolly are on the Corsa, though I might be wrong. BTW how in the hell did you manage to get Corsa tips if you dont mind me asking <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: Question about Hooker Exhaust?? Oh BTW the Hooker does sound pretty sweet, got it on my ride with the SLP duel/duel tips <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
Re: Question about Hooker Exhaust?? just go to Summit & get a reducer cone, that goes from 3 to 2.5", or whatever size you need. Have the mufler shop cut & weld them in anywhere you want the transition to begin. You now have a smooth transition from pipe to pipe, that is hardly detected. I would have them begin just after where the I-pipe comes over the axle. It really would be alot simpler to just get the mufler that you want, and go and have a mufler shop custom make it the way that you want. It is usally cheaper, when you consider that alot of guys are buying the cat backs & then also have an additional cost of having someone install it for them. Thus custom is best $$ wise, and best because it is exactly the way you envision the perfect exhaust setup to be. <img src="graemlins/gr_xmas.gif" border="0" alt="[santa]" />

Re: Question about Hooker Exhaust?? Thanks for the replies guys! Well, I got them from a guy who sold them to me because they were not useable with his SLP center exit exhaust, hehe. Just go tlucky and was the first one to post!!! WOOHOO! Anyways, I am concerned about using the reducer cone as it seems restricive if you ask me. Also, the Corsa, and my Flowmaster exhaust both have 3" tailpipes exiting the muffler.
Any more ideas. The reason I am getting the hooker is to get a better sound with my ORP. Also, because my cat-back has two cut-outs in it, so it is unclean. One is zed style in the back and the other is in the intermediate pipe. I had to do this because when I put a resonator in, I had to take the original I-pipe cut-ut out to put the resonator in its place, and thus had to make another cut-out zed style. But, I ended up remiving the resonator as it made it too quiet and put the old cut-out section back in its place and had I now have two cutouts, lol!
