I've had the Jet-hot hookers for a couple of years now. You might also search for Jet-hot here and on the web.

This is what he's looking at. NOT the Hooker Header/sidepipe that is all one unit. This is made to have your exhaust routed to it via an "S" pipe.

Can you also buy the header to connect to the pipes? How do they connect up without welding??? This could be helpful since I need to have longer down-pipe headers to work with my tall-deck and raised exhaust ports. I was considering cutting my Hooker headers and adding an inch of length so they will clear underneath the frame.

Dood, spelling is your friend.

Tubes look to be same size (4") but mount is different from what is on my '72. You probably get them to work with sidepipe headers.

Just save your pennies and get the Jet Hot coated Hookers.

I am very dyslexic, I apologize for my spelling. If I don’t check it over in Microsoft word, I look like an idiot.

The real hooker sidemounts are @ $1.100.00 in chrome.(The price caught me off guard!) I had to look at the small pic, twice! I thought that was really cheap.
