Score!!! 5303 Hooker 1 7/8 super comp full under chassis headers......extinct these days

Hookers are old school magic. True they are not as customized snug. Or as long lasting treated as today's TTI. And are a bit more cumbersome. But for the price? And performance? And sounds? I think you are right on.

Also, as they age? They actually get better. The reason rusty headers work better is that oxidized steel exspells heat better. Which is what an older engine begs.

New school is certainly nicer under the lights. But ask performance 2 years later under street use?

JMO. I could me wrong.
