Default HEADER ?

OK Guys here's the latest. I just got off the phone with LPE. The 74219 cam and all the associated valve train pieces are on order. The next step is the headers. Let me here your recommendation. Is Hooker a good value/alternative to the pricey tuner stuff? Did the Hookers come with the oxygen sensor fitting? Thermal coating? What if I hold off on the headers for a while?

Here are my Hooker 2149s.



They come with emissions hookups and an O2 sensor in the #7 primary. Some people have it moved to the collector. Yes, they are coated. I just finished installing them with a superram, 219 cam & valvetrain this weekend. :) So far so good.

Thanks for the info guys, great pic also. My car is AIR pump delete. I wonder if Hooker offers an AIR delete part? I see this is a popular subject on the forum. Any thought on retailers or e-tailers? Thanks,

Not at all. I reinstalled all the emissions equipment on my engine. The only thing not on it now is the AIR pump, and that is a 10 minute swap for when I need inspection. I'll toss on a high-flow cat too for that day.

Hooker 2151 is an uncoated twin to the 2149, less smog hook ups. Hooker
2151-1 is the coated version of the 2151. If you want to use the O2 sensor,
you can have a bung welded into the collector area of the headers or buy
collectors with the bung.
