Hooker Super Comp vs. any other header Posted By: Archangel On: 03-31-2008 @ 07:45:05 Reply | Edit Why are the Hooker Super Competition headers so more expensive than any other header. I currently have Hookers, but they have tiny 1 1/2" primaries. Will Heddman 1 5/8" be really worth it? I mean, they are cheap and even if they don't flow as well as same sized Hookers, they have larger primaries than my current set-up. The question is: What makes the Hookers more expensive? Are they so much better? Should I go with the Heddmans? Thanks --  '91 SuperRammed GTA

I mean, performance wise. -- '91 SuperRammed GTA

Posted By: Pocket On: 04-01-2008 @ 00:45:17 Reply | Top | Edit What about em? The poor fit? The fact they are discontinued? The high price for cheap quality? Them being overly massive for no good reason?

So, i should stay with the 1 1/2" hooker super competitions? The reason I want to upgrade to larger primaries it's because I'll be installing AFR 195 Eliminators and we're talking about 211cfm exhaust flow! I know Hookers are great but they are too expensive, compared to the other brands -- '91 SuperRammed GTA"What does matter is that the current GTA carries on the idea of the first Trans Am proudly and deservedly.
