Default Hooker 16720 Pipe for 2149 and 2151 Headers

The FedEx man just shows up with head gaskets and the pipe. Check this out. I guess the dent in one side is to clear the starter.

Either that or a disgruntled employee over at UPS smashed it over the head of another employee!

Scorp,

I would not use that!

When I got my Hookers I was told they were unavailable because there was some manufacturing problem with the Y-pipe and it did not fit right. I had a MAD SS Y-pipe cut and welded with a set of collectors and O2 bung. Worked great. No problems getting the starter in or out.

That looks like it would restrict the flow pretty bad! :nono:

It is hard to see in the pictures, but since that area is flattened, the main portion of the pipe is wider right there. It is wider than the other 3" areas.

That area that is squashed is right where my auto shift linkage is. That's probably why its crushed.

Your long tubes should go PAST the starter. It may be a clearancing issue for your tranny, but there's only one way to find out. Put it on!

Mine is not crimped like that, but I did have to have it cut and refitted to work. I got one before they realized the tooling was off.
