Default Sidepipe Header Look

Has anyone purchased the Header Look sidepipes from JC Whitney? If so, do they look FAKE? How do they sound? Are they worth buying or should you get the real Hookers?

Thanks For Your Advice!

I don't know how much the JC Witney ones are, but the Hooker headers complete with side pipes and muffler inserts will cost you about $1,500 (for the chrome ones)

Headers: about $1,000
Side pipes: about $250
Spiral Turbo Baffle Insers: about $250

I will be ordering a set of these shortly. Maniac, did you have to cut your side trim, or is that just a weird reflection in the close up of the 'header'?

you can get a painted set for $800 but with the glasspacks instead of the spiral inserts. not as good as chrome but half the price
