Just an FYI, Hedman Hedders makes several different sets of headers designed to fit our cars that are using factory style side pipe systems.  Be sure to read the footnotes closely.  As far as I know they are the only ones doing this.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that...I'm gonna love the improved performance of the hookers, but I wanna make sure they look good too.

Here is the pic of the sidepipe from "jet hot".  The headers look the same but they were just in a harder box to get to.  I hope this helps.

those are...for smallblocks?!  they look WAY too long..they're hooker sidetubes with the jet-hot coating?  the hookers are HOK-65284HKR on summit racing...4" inlet/outlet, 46 inch length...hooker headers have 4" collectors.  if these are the same product...I'm interested in buyin em off ya.  how much did they cost you?

The sidepipes are the same for both small and big blocks, only the headers are different.  I cant find the receipt but for hooker supercomp sidemount, sidepipes and mufflers it was around $1100.  (The headers were $585 of that)  I called jet hot and they said they would take my headers back but charge me a %15 restocking fee.  They will not take back sidepipes.  I allready sold mufflers on ebay.  I was going to use the chambered exhaust.  There is an old thread on that exhaust system.  There is a guy who I sent the muffler to and he made a chambered ones to fit.  I dont have the link handy but it should be in here somewhere. 

Email me if you need more info.. Ruready2go@cox.net

they still look really long...wow.  maybe it's just the angle.  if those are hooker sidetubes too, I'd be willing to bet that one of the glasspack mufflers they have on summit for the hooker sidepipe setup would work just fine.  how much would you want for em?
