The next thing I'm going to do to my car is a set of headers... so just give me you guys opinions on what kind, brand stuff like that.. And what size 1 5/8 or 1 3/4? Someone told me that if I got 3/4 I would lost bottom end but gian more top end.. is there any trust in that... thanks for your help

 

i just ordered hooker 1 3/4 LT headers, y-pipe, catback... the loss of power on bottom.. if any... the topend makes up for it by far... and i know many ppl that have LT headers and say they dont feel a drop in bottom end at all....

hooker is very good for the price range... imo the best for that price, but.. theres MANY brands out there that are good...

i'd be glad to lose a little low down torque, i have a hard enough time hooking up as it is...

 

I have SLP 1 3/4 mids on both my cars. I gained top end and didn't lose any on bottom. I had the RK Sports mid once and hated them. I have a friend with hooker LTs and they seem pretty good. I hear alot ot good things about the pacesetter long tubes.

 

I just bought the Jet-Hot LT's and y-pipe, I've heard theirs is basically close to the Hooker design and they come with their coating instead of a generic type coating.

 

yea, jet hot is ALOT like hooker...

Actually when jethot designed there headers they copied the hookers. only thing that they did differently was have the collectors about 3/4" to 1" higher than where they would be with the hookers. They also use 2gauge thicker material for the tubing and there coating is inside and out and i don't believe the hookers are coated inside could be wrong though.

Yeah i have Jet hots and i noticed gains both top end and bottom end. I did have an open Y pipe though. Jet hots are coated inside and out. I didnt have to unbolt my engine at all to install them either. I think all hooker, Jet hot, and Pacesetter are all 1 3/4". Kooks are 1 7/8". Be sure to get coated otherwise they will look like crap after a few days.
