Default Hooker side mounts or 3"

I have a 1795 with a Gen "V" 502 HO modified to 613 FWHP. I currently have Hedman Headers with 2-1/2 duels through muflers only. I'm choking! What do you guys think, Hooker side mounts or 3" under the car? Or, any other sugestions you might have.

THANK YOU

I say side mounts, but I'm biased. :D I'm running the Chrome Hooer side mounts w/ my Gen V as well. The 3' pipes can be done, but it will without a doubt be a tight fit. :yesnod:

:iagree: Nothing like the Hooker sidepipes for looks, performance, and sound. But, they can burn you and your passengers if you're not careful. My advice is get them jethot coated and don't use the crappy Hooker inserts. Use either the JCL inserts or I have another solution. Email me or IM me if interested.
