It's nice to see Hooker now offering these in a SS version. Now if they could also offer them in a slightly smaller tube size Those look great on your vette

Those to look awesome on your vette. The stainless should be pretty easy to keep also. Nice choice.

Lookin good....

The guy who did the restore on mine the black ones on, but I've been considering getting the stainless ones. Black pipes on a black car are bada$$, but I think stainless would set it off nicely. Anyone know someone who would be interested in a used set of black hookers under 2000 miles?

Nice lookin ride.

Those look . It looks like stainless is the way to go with Hookers, especially with the way chrome peels off. Other than costing slightly more is there any other drawback to stainless?

Is there any chance that someone on here knows where I can find a picture of the sidepipes on a White 76?

Default Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

I would have to consider SS side pipes with hdrs an investment as they look killer and can only increase car value. Ya know my header sys was 'bout $750 - $350 hdrs, $300 exh pipes & mufflers, $100 collector connections & misc but they don't look nearly as good (can't really see'em). And mine are carbon steel so really no used value to them.
Nice. cardo0

Only Summit offers these on their websiite, I culd not find them anywhere else. I emailed hooker but never got a response

Installation is easy: get the car on jack stands (at least 1') and check the fit around the steering box, mine needed some attention (hammer)

The rocker panels fit fine, almost no cutting necessary... I'll cut 1/2" x 1" to clear one of the primary pipes and to get some extra clearance
