Default Hooker Sidepipe Questions

How does Hookers ceramic coating compare to Jet-Hots coating in durability and looks? How about the regular black paint....how does it look and hold up? Where can I get the best pricing?

I was told by several that Jet-Hot's coating is far superior to Hookers. As far as the black paint, it you get a scratch or dull area all you have to do is paint. :D

I went with the "Chrome" finish, it just looks like it belongs on the chrome bumper cars. :yesnod:

:iagree:
I like the look on other ppls. cars, I just don't like the noise and burn potential, but they do look great.

Ordered mine today from Martel Brothers (you can find them on the internet). I got the coated ones vs. the chrome, but you have your choice. :) They seemed to have as good of a price as anyone.

Realize you will need the side tubes/mufflers (you have a choice of a glasspack or a "reverse-flow" design) in addition to the side-mounted headers themselves.
