Alright, here is the deal. My little bro is pulling his 5.0 drivetrain out of his project car and junking the body. He is selling the engine, but I have a chance to buy his Hooker Long Tube Headers off of him. They MIGHT have 10 miles on them. He pretty much built the engine, took it down the road and then let it sit.
Anyways, my current set up is in my sig. Stock headers, BBK h-pipe, and flowmasters. I already need to new tailpipes from the flowmasters back as they have rusted holes in them. So, I was contemplating getting these Hooker Headers and redoing the rest of the exhaust.
I want to know everyone's opinons on hooker headers.. Good Performance? Good Quality? etc. I noticed most people run Mac or BBk but I never see anyone running Hooker and wonder why.
Also, because I have a BBK H-pipe for stock headers. Will I be forced to come up with something else? Or can the h-pipe be modified to fit the long tubes? Anyone done that before
Last but not least, will getting long tubes and x-pipe dramatically make my exhaust tone different while using the same flowmasters? Or will it be mostly the same? And, will all this work be worth it in the end (meaning, what kind of power should I expect from the change, will it at least be SOTP??) ?
Thanks for all your help guys. I know there is ALOT of questions in there, but I'm little excited because I have a change to get some LT's and just wanna know I'm doing the right thing.
