Re: Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers (Summerfun)
It's not chrome! It was sold to me by Summit as SS.
It bubbles up in small areas and when I try to polish it with a metal polish, it peels off!
How do I get a huge picture of my car in this space so you can see what the side pipes look like? That Avitar is too small.

Somebody better check this out-
Did you try a magnet on the headers? 300 grade S/S is non-magnetic.
:yesnod:
There are lots of us waiting to get these S/S pipes- they better be what they say they are.

Re: Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers (lotahp)
Is there any way to make sure that they are SS :confused:
Are they stamped :confused: part numbers :confused:
I also have been waiting for SS sidepipes to hit the streets. How can we be sure that we are not getting ripped???
Does anybody else have SS Hookers???
I didn't think they were available last year.....

Hooker Stainless Steel#'s
1 HOK-2224-3HKR $979.95 HEADERS SIDE MOUNT (pr)
1 HOK-50735-3HKR $410.39 SIDETUBES SS FINISH POL (pr)
1 HOK-21021 $143.99 Mufflers (pr), Sidetube Slip-in, Glasspack, 4"
As of 4/22/04. These prices were from Summit, but Jeg's was within a few dollars overall, as a package price. And both would be ordered factory direct from Hooker. Someone should look into a group price from Hooker which would also speed up production. Alot of these companies will keep these on B/O until they meet a minumum build number (ex. 10+ sets). Meanwhile you maybe waiting for 9 others too pry open they're wallets. I know I'm!

If we can sort this mess out, I would be interested in a GP :yesnod:
Just don't want to spend the extra $$$ if the quality isn't there :skep: :skep:

Re: Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers (Ozzie71)
The group purchase thing sounds good to me. I would be in! I'm just still tottering between SS or Jet Hot. I like the fact that jet hot would be cooler to the touch. I havent had any experience with it, but I do know from experience that Hooker ceramic is crap!

I'd be lookin' for the BB (396-502) headers and side tubes for the C-3- as long as they're S/S- NOT ceramic or chrome. The header coatings get all banged up in the wheel wells, and I'm sick of the constant maintenance.
:chevy

I have Jet-Hot inside & outside in BLACK and cool to the touch with NO PROBLEMS. Stainless Steel has got to look good but that will "TATTOO" your leg if you touch (like chrome).

I got lots of 'rosebuds' before I put S/S shields on the side tubes.........

Re: Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers (MassVette)
I sent an e-mail to Summit and they sent me the e-mail address of Hooker.
Now I'm waiting to hear back from Hooker.
I bought a set of SS from Summit over the phone last year.....anything could have happened. You know what phones and chains of messages being relayed in a corporation could do!
They looked pretty good (not a shiny as chrome) when I got them and still do after I polish them. Except for the "bubbling and peeling areas" where the side pipes go into the collectors.
I guess they could be some kind of aluminium coating or something....I don't know. Right now I have no idea what they are.....thought I had SS. Paid for SS and asked for SS :confused: :confused:

:iagree: :iagree: with Big632 & The Dude. They've got to have some kind of coating on them. I'm sure you know the difference between chrome & stainless!!!
