Hookers, Chrome or Stainless?
I am about to pull the plug on new headers and side pipes. My car is almost strictly a show car. Not a DD. Stay in a non climate controlled garage when not in use. No rain ect. hits it.
Best way to go.. Chrome or Stainless Hookers? going for looks mostly but dont wanna worry about them in a year.
Anyone have experience with these?
Thanks

Stainless is the only way to go.
My Hookers are 2 years old.
Car has been driven less than 6 times in that timeframe. Car sits inside a non-heated garage and the tubes and collectors have pitting and surface rust already.
I'm debating selling mine and buying stainless or having mine coated.
Show or not, the chrome they put on them is crap.
Tubes under the car look twice as bad.
the 4 inch side tubes have held up well, but the header's chrome finish is poor.

Good Lord, here we go again....
My chrome hookers look great after several years...and I bought them used, so I'm very pleased..NO rust or pitting. I just lightly polish them up now and then. Really look great with the chrome bumpers...
