Thanks

and nice car!

Hooker sidepipes only come in one length. Corvette length.

Mine are Jet Hot coated and you can burn yourself on the primaries but they cool enough to touch within 5 minutes. My heatshields are from www.cobrastuff.com and are the traditional "cheesegrate style". For mufflers, I have the STS baffles. Nice and loud when on it, can hear the stereo when cruising.

I absolutely love them!

I went stainless too. I was surprised that they did not cost much more than chrome and don't have to worry about rust as much if at all. I'm using STS baffles which have a center cap that can be drilled out or replaced to "adjust" sound and flow. I also bought steelshields to prevent the burns. Clearance is better than the long tube headers and under car exhaust that I had. He is a pic and a video:
