The guy says in the ad that those pipes sell for $1600 new......
That is :bs !!! You can get new Hooker Sidepipes complete for less than $1100!!! I paid $905 (including shipping) for my set!!

From their appearance it appears Hooker side pipes don't incorporate a catalytic converter. If this is true, how do the cars in states with annual emissions testing (eg, Illinois) get pass certification?

I don't think that if would be too difficult for a weld shop to fit cats int the pipes...... However - I've never seen Hookers with cats...

I bought mine at "Internet Racers Supply" for $899 + $6 s/h...
(now they are called racenet.net) http://www.racenet.net/
(I don't know if they still carry them)
This didn't include mufflers. However - you can get CCI inserts as cheap as $60 / each. Glasspacks are a little bit above $100 for both pipes... I run straight pipes and love the sound and performance!! The stock style mufflers are junk anyway - costing you lots of HP!!!! The only 2 types of High Performance mufflers are JCL'S STS Baffles or CCI Inserts.. However - the CCI inserts are VERY LOUD - almost as loud as open pipes!!!

You can get those pipes also at Summit and MartelBros!

If you note he states that they are for 68-73. No catalytic converters on those cars so no issue there. Bet they will also fit a 74 which also does not have catalytic converters. For 75 and newer then you have the catalytic converter issue.

13 hours left and still no bids. Maybe Ebay people are wising up to these newcomer sales, that you get ripped off on. :yesnod:

I'm thinking of putting my Harley up for sale on e-bay. I would be a new time person. I have never put anything on e-bay or bought anything on e-bay. That dose not mean that I would rip anyone off!!!!

Road Racer - You are indeed in a class by yourself then. I myself got stung once by a newbie on Ebay, as have a lot of other Forum members. I'm not saying that everyone will rip you off, but there are quite a few. :flag

Yep, 12 hours left and no bids :)

I see one of two things happening here, either will be a no sale and will show up again with a lower reserve or someone will come in during the last minute of the auction and take it.

Just a piece of worthless information here that I stumbled on while trying to find a set of hooker headers. I took a wild stab at the website and guessed http://www.hookerheaders.com and it takes you to EBay and does a search for them. Kind of cool I thought.
