Hooker Header 2149
I was on the Summit web site cheking out a set of Hooker headers PN 2149. Is the rear port on the right header for an EGR valve? I wanted to run a miniram, I need to run an EGR valve due to emission testing.
Thanks

Correction: Hooker headers have 1 3/4" primary tubes (too big for most people, in my opinion). The Hooker 2149s have the connection for the EGR tube. Inspect it closely before you install the headers, because rumor has it that the hole for the EGR tube isn't drilled through the primary tube, at the factory. If you plan to use the EGR you will have to drill it yourself, and I'll bet it's easier before you get them installed.

when i bought my 2149's from summitracing, they did have the hole for the egr drilled, from the factory.
i'm one of those examples where its borderline, regarding 1 5/8" or 1 3'4".....and therefore should have opted for 1 5/8"

On my 2149's no hole was drilled for the EGR, and no provision on the mini-ram. I'm not even going to start with primary size, the 2149 is 1/3/4''

Long time ago, I saw a conversion kit for an external EGR (not bolted to intake mainfold). I don't remember who made it, but I seem to remember that it was one of the bigger companies like Mr Gasket or Edlebrock. Accordingly, I belive that it is possible to use an EGR with the miniram.
