Headers and install
Headers and install I plan on getting hooker lts for my 95 comverterable Trans am LT1. ive been told they are the best quality and easiest to install. is this true? Does anyone have a write up on how to do it? Thanks in advance
Hey:
Go stainless, all other regular steel headers will rust, coated or not. Kooks, LPP, and many other stainless brand headers, or even cheap ebay stainless headers are better or as good as any over priced Hooker header. Whom ever told you that has a loose definition of best fit, maybe easier install and lower ground clearance, for more money, is what they meant. Any company that makes a tight fitting header will have install issues or prep compromises that have to be done on 3rd and 4th gen F bodys, its just the way it is. Sorry to disagree but Hookers are far from the best header for these cars......., to many other better choices, especially for the price.

I just swapped over to some LPP's from the Hookers and I will tell you that the LPP's fit much better overall (regardless of having to massage the frame rail a little) and look tons better than coated Hookers. Also, the Hookers use a slip fit on the #1 primary and it leaks horribly. Listen to what the others have said here.

Verdad Gallardo Cause they improve gound clearance and they last forever. Motor mounts is not something I would plan on changing twice. The rubber ones last a while, but I keeps cars for hundreds of thousands of miles, rubber ones won't last that long. And changing them with LT headers in place is not fun at all.
The rubber mounts break down even without high miles over time they can still be worn down. Its much easier to replace them when doing the headers then to find out after that you have to anyway.
But with my mileage I should be ok correct? Also is there a good
chance I won't have to massage the frame? Honestly I like the lpp but if the pacesetters require less modification to fit I rather do that
