Default Hooker headers opinion

So my pops gets the awesome hook up on Hooker stuff. So whats everybodies opinion on a full Hooker set up headers, Y-pipe, and exhaust?
Now i have heard about the ehaust "death rattle" but I think thats in their older stuff so other than that is it a good way to go?

I have Hooker LT's and ORY and I LOVE how they made my car sound and the gains I saw2 from them. However I have SLP LM1 cat-bak so I can't comment on their exhaust but I'm sure their headers and y would make any car sound alot better. Just my opinion.

Didn't hooker just release a new true dual system for our cars? Or was it someone else?

That would be something worth looking into.

Hookers are a good brand headers. I had a pair on my 00 Z28 and now run Pacesetters on my 02 Z28. the fitment was good. no issues at all. What i would highly suggest though, is since you are in the market for headers to get a pair of the 1 7/8 hookers.

Hooker makes a good header. I have helped put on a couple sets. I have the catback but mine has a slight rattle only when cold. Sounds sick though and I get compliments all the time!!!
