Hooker long tubes
I was in the market to buy some long tube headers and was considering the hooker long tubes. I was just wondering if anyone had them or has any input about them. Thanks in advance

Yea im running them... I think the Pacesetters are alittle better built and priced fair. Im not impressed with my whole Hooker exp. Where are you getting them through and price?
I asked because I orderd mine through a catolog. They were listed as Long Tubes "With ORY" $399!
I should have confirmed this as it was too good to be true. I was only sent the Longtubes of course. 
When I called to see where my ORY was, They told me it was a cataog error and I was lucky they sent the LT's for that price and wanted another $500 for the ORY!!! Then after I pointed the add out where it clearly said "Includes Off Road Y-Pipe" They tried to tell me its a prototype and not for sale. I responded "WTF were you trying sell me for $500 2 seconds ago them!" They finaly sent me one about a month later. What they sent me looked like a defect, The shape was inccorect and the weld was so bad on the flang it leaked.
Long story short... They lied to me, The quality is fair/poor and there cusomer service sucks! Hooker is not the same as it used to be, But just like anything Holley get there hands on, It turns to ****... JMO

Holley ****! I still cant beleive there pulling this crap! Its a gamble dude, Order them and bitch when you dont get the ORY... It worked for me, But I make no garanties. Took me a month to get my ORY from them. They tried to blow me off, But I wore them down calling everyday untill I got what I ordered!

I put them on in about a hour, hour and a half. 02 bungs had no holes in them. Had them welded in the exhaust. No big deal. Fit is good. Clears frame/steering shaft. Just like every other header story... If you have the money, go with the more expensive brands.
