Hookers have been tested and they perform well - even for 800-1,000hp cars.

Jet-Hots are pretty much the same design, only with thicker flanges and they are cheaper to buy. They also come with emissions hook-ups if need be.

I would go Jet-Hots

yea im interested in this too. i plan on getting some headers soon also and i have heard and read on here and other boards that hooker headers are awesoem for performance gains and to make sure to ceramic coat them for long lasting heat dissipating better for the headers and heat in the engine. jet hots i have also heard good things about also just not as much as hooker. i have also heard anywhere from 20-35+ hp from the hooker longtubes. anybody know from this, have experience, dynosheets? let us know. i would like to get headers soon just no $$$$

You'll hear more/better things about Hooker's because they have been out on the market longer. Jet-Hots appeared this year and haven't been tested as much as Hooker's. Just give it some time.

I am very happy with my Jet-Hot headers. I don't know of any advantage that the hookers have over them. They are the same design except the jet hot's have made improvements like thicker flanges and being available with or without emissions and they are cheaper.
