Anyone have this problem with Hooker LTs? Put my Hooker Lt's on my 96 LT1, about 3 months ago, and when i take off from a dead stop it sounds like they(the LT's) are bouncing or vibrating off some thing else like the k member or ?
Anyone ever had a similar problem Thanks!!!

Check the steering knuckle. I installed my JET HOT LT's early this year. They are basically a copy of the Hookers and my steering knuckle was touching the primary tube. I got out a dremel and ground the flanges on the knuckle down a little bit.

I have the same problem but I don't really care about it. I assume when the engine moves/car flexes that the headers do hit the K member but that's only on take off. With my steering knuckle, there was direct contact when I installed them but I just took a ballpeen hammer and made me a dent in the primary for clearence. Works like a charm.
