It's ZR-1 Booboo and I doubt you'll find any Hooker Headers! There's many 'hookers' available but none I believe fabricated LT5 'long tubes'!

Maybe some chrome valve covers to go with those Hooker headers.

Keep the original exhaust. You won't be sorry.

I know most of you are ribbing the OP over his brand choice. I have a ZR1 & a L98 in my garage. Has anyone else noticed that ZR1 headers (any brand) are cheaper than L98 headers?
