Hooker ceramic coated super comps. The fit and quality are excellent!

the hooker comps I ran for a while fit great, installed easy too. It was a mild build at the time and I picked up mucho power over "shelby" tri-y's. I will never recommend tri-y's to anyone, unless its a set of high dollar stepped tube custom fit kind of deal. Even then, the tri-y design offers little(if any) benefit over 4 into 1 headers.

I just installed ceramic-coated Hooker Super Comps on my '65 Fastback. They bolted right up, but were touching in a few areas (driver and passenger shock towers and steering box). I was confused, as I have original '65 motor mounts, and the shock towers measured exactly what they should, and the export brace and Monte Carlo bars fit perfectly. A few careful, and minor, bends using a pry bar easily fixed this, though.

Another vote for hooker comps ceramic. 70 302 - nice finish easy fit. For a mild build I was advised the super comps are overkill.

Sometimes the motors just don't sit center like they should.I've measured a few and they can vary up to 1/2 inch.
