if you get mac, disconnect the egr to be on the safe side. lately i've been hearing of weld slag coming out & getting recycled through the engine & scoring the cylinder walls, causing some smoking issues (i think it happened to my last car ). i'm getting ready to put mac l/t's on again & i'm disconnecting it just to be on the safe side

I have Jet Hot L/T with matching X-Pipe. They are modeled after the Hookers but made by Jet Hot. They have been for about 5 months and no problems.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong but aren't the Hookers the only ones that allow you to remove the transmission without removing a header or at least loosening one?? Performance wise it seems they are about equal, you will pay the most for Hooker or Jet Hot.
