I don't understand why you wouldn't make all of the headers with the EGR & AIR fittings then you would have everyone buying the headers. The people who need to stay emissions legal and the people who don't could just block of the EGR & AIR with a simple bolt. You make more money in the long run.

The y-pipe would be nice also.

I'd like to see a set of longtubes with good plug clearance, slip fit, and an offroad y-pipe. I also like the idea of a y-pipe with built in cutouts! Oh yeah, I'd buy a set without the emissions

something i forgot to mention is to make sure the header primaries actually LINE UP to the exhaust port. i guess hookers arent exactly lined up perfectly and people are needing to port them to match the gaskets. i think the welds disrupt the flow somewhat but more importantly the header flange overlapped the exhaust port. i know this sounds like a nobrainer but hooker screwed it up and have been making headers for ever.

jet hot headers

I am still reading all the great emails. We should have a car to do a test fit on later next week. I am asking for the AIR and EGR tubes to be added. We will make a Y pipe, it will take a little longer(sorry). It seems like most would like the headers without the 3 bolt flange at the end. I can make it happen but without a Y pipe (yet), you would need to fabricate a Y pipe. Let me know what you think.

Thanks
Chris

That sounds good. Just when you make the custom Y pipe, definitely build in the cutouts. Great feature.

What... so the air and egr could be coming out with the LT1 batch in january or that the air and egr will be coming out for sure by summer time?
A ypipe isnt a problem for me. Tons of exhaust shops around here can custom make one for under 200 bucks.

At this point , I have changed the direction on the 1st batch to include the AIR and EGR tubes. We are looking at Jan to have them ready to sell. I'll keep you posted as this continues.

Thanks

Eh...are you still going to have some without the emission hook ups? I'd rather not have the hook ups sticking up with plugs in them. If you are only going to make the emission version of your headers, will you still be offering the Hooker LTs?

I like the idea of staying emission legal but want to ask a question that seems to have been missed. What kind of price range are we looking at? Thanks,

Kyle

The New Jet Hot LS1 headers were introduced for $511 and are selling for $540 right now. The LT1 headers should fall into the same range.

If we can get the set up for the emission set up for the LT1 headers, we shold be able to produce some without the tube also.

Thanks

I'm not buying any headers unless they also have all the emissions hookups. If hookers had emissions hookups, then I would already have them.

Right now, I would have to buy them bare, find someone willing to weld everything on (O2's, Air, EGR), then have them coated.

Plug access is a big plus to the hookers that make me keep thinking about going through the trouble I just mentioned--many of us here work on our own cars.
