And…that’s my point. Just like Hedman headers, Hooker had different product lines.
If you weren’t spending 600-800 bucks for headers in the mid 1980’s you were buying the lower line of headers.
The quality and fit of the race line of headers from both Hedman (Hustler) and Hooker (Competition RACE) are light years ahead of the rest of their line of headers.
And yes, I ran race headers on the street. Still do. They fit better and make more power. But they aren’t cheap.
