i love my hooker header sidepipes. ive got drilled out spiral baffles and its LOUD. but with the windows up and the ac cranking you can still have a normal conversation . i can tell you one thing for sure. the less restriction of exhaust systems, the happier a small block is.

Just back from the shop. They couldn't get the Flowmaster 50's in. Said it was too big. Tried the Magnaflows but no difference. They said that I had too many 'horses' to do anything about it.
So seems like I have to put up with disturbing the neighbourhood everytime I got the Vet out!!

I have 50s on mine and they fit fine. Yes they take a little more work and it is tight but they will fit. Mine were even in with the spare tire carrier. They just did not want to spend the time. Here is my "rear" with the 50s
