Default Hooker

Hooker has been around for years. They have a good name and rep. I haven't used any of their products recently, but over the years I have had probably five sets of their headers on various cars with no problems.

With the amount of work it takes to install headers on these cars, I wouldn't install one that isn't stainless.

They'd be all right with ceramic coating, but I wasn't aware that Hooker made headers for the C5 LS1-6.

Not to start a "fire", but I had a set of Hooker sidemount headers back in the late '70s. After just two summers of use, the welds that attached the collectors to the head pipes rusted out, and the collectors fell off. A $700 system then became useless. I sent Hooker several letters, and IIRC, a phone call or two. They did absolutely NOTHING.....
