This is the page and I've attached the picture.
You guys got any info on this setup.
I known I'm gonna have to do some fabrication and so on so don't tell me that.
It sounds like a great deal considering it's stainless steel exaust.
I'm willing to give up some power for the quality.

Ya money is not the issue but the simple fact that the SLP cat-back costs about $400 and I don't wanna spend that much.
By the way I'm actually a Hooker man abd it was you that got me to consider it and that $200 kit is my top choice right now but if the above exaust system is descent in terms of performance then I'm buying it.
I really wouldn't mind getting a stainless steel cat-back for that cheap.

So, that isn't stock factory exhaust? If not, then it should be worth it, it's 3" right?

That is the 3" Factory SS and WS6 exhaust, not the Firehawk exhaust or slp SS exhaust which flows a little better and has dual dual tips. That's probably a good deal for 100 bucks. They actually have a pretty nice tone too, just not that loud.

That's good if it is 3"!
If I want it louder I could put a different muffler on it too but then it won't be stainless steel.
I'm all for the Hooker setup but the actual mandrel bent tubes can't possibly flow all that much more but the mufflers could be the part holding the stocker back.
You really can't overlook the fact that it is a stainless steel exaust for only $100 plus shipping also.
The $200 Hooker cat-back is definetily a better piece but it is not stainless steel but yet on the other hand it definetily sounds better.
I might just buy both just for the hell of it considering they are so cheap.
Does anyone know what gauge the stock exaust is?
Thanks

Tehy are 3" stainless steel and mandrel bent. YOu'll get it mailed to you in 3 pieces. Intermediate pipe, over the axle pipe and muffler.
I ended up not using mine and sold it to another guy but I will say it was great quality and when I hung the muffler to test fit it it looked great.
You will need a different hanger for one side of the exhaust and that is the only "extra" part you need, which they mention to you anyways.

I emailed bill Hawkins last night and he replied in almost exactly 45 minutes.
He answered all of my question and was pretty straight forward with me.
