Who's tried Hookers 4V headers?
 
Has anyone tried the full length headers for a '96-up Cobra from Hooker? How much better/worse are they compared to BBK's?
Are they tight around the tranny? How is the fit and finish?
Just wanted more info on these and how they might compare to the BBK units.

Thanx

some hookers can be tight..depends on what kind you get ;) ohh that kind of hooker. lol My buddy has some on his 4.6 and he likes them. They fit good. I think their a nice addition to his ride.

Sorry i have no info on the header question. Im in the middle of deciding myself which long tubes to go with. Hooker has been around forever and they claim the have the smoothest collector of the lot. My buddy has BBK's on his cobra, he had them installed but i havent heard any complaints. MAC, BBK, Hooker....decisions decisions, anyhows i just wanna know how do u like the flow paths???????????

how much hp can these get you on a basically stock engine with open intake and exhaust (higi-flow cats and new mufflers)?

Jax- I love the flowpaths. All my friends say my snake is the best sounding stang around; and one of the best sounding cars in the area. They do have a slight drone (as well as flowmasters) but it dosen't bother me.
A few guys I have met at a few car shows and cruise in's say that the flowpath's make more power than flowmasters. One said a friend had tested it on a flowbench and another said there was a 20 rear wheel hp difference on the dyno (vs. flowmasters).
I think they are a bit louder than 2 chamber flows and a bit deeper in tone.

If anyone has anymore info on the Hookers let me know. Thanx
:D ;)

Thanx for yer 2 cents on the flow paths....Everyone here in vegas has the usual 2 chamber flowmasters. It is definately either gonna be the mac flow paths or spintech pro series, i just wanna be different, ya know? I have yet to hear either one so if ya have some input on the spintechs, lemme know. One other thing, do you have any good pix of yer 93 trunk? If so e-mail me one plz.
Thanx,
Jax

look into magnaflow, i havent heard a single bad thing about them and they sound very badass AND dont drone

RedTwilight 09-03-2002 10:18 PM

I want'ed to be different as well. So I chose the Flowpaths. Until I got mine no one in my town had even heard of MAC making mufflers. Most people ask me now if they're flowmasters. Another muffler that is just starting to go around here is the Twister. In my opinion do not get twisters. They sound like feces.
Sorry no pics of the coupe yet. But it's basically stock anyway.:mad:

I have thought about going with an o/r X-pipe with either Bassani, Magnaflow, or Borla if I am ever able to afford to get myself another 4V Snake:D ;)
