"Is That GOOD?" She asks...
So I was poking around under the hood of my wife's '87, checking the oil, coolant, plug wires, etc. Contemplating a few cosmetic fixes this winter, the usual. When I noticed that her headers were not quite stock! :skep: I never noticed prior to this, I guess I never looked past the missing emblem on the valve cover. :confused: "Look honey, you've got Hooker Headers on there!". She looks at me and asks, "Is that good? Is that better than stock '91 headers???"

I fell silly for not seeing it either. but i noticed that emblem was gone. i guess i will chalk it up to being a new vette owner! i am the owner of the 87 with hooker headers.

Yeah, but didn't you help her get it? Going to check it out, making sure it's mechanically sound... Then checking it up/down when she did get it to make sure she didn't get a lemon?? Come on dude, your getting fitted for the doghouse :D

There is a hole in the intake, just before the Throttle Body!!!
Not a hole, it's a kink. The brake fluid was one of the things I went under the hood for in the first place, but thanks for pointing it out.
:D :conehead

Am I missing something here???...Why would stock '91 headers be better than stock '87 headers???... :confused:
