Enter "hok-2055" into the p/n search field.

$349.95 plus their $6.75/order fee.

Doesn't even say "back-ordered" right now...

$437 is way too much for 2055's. I think that's about what the lt's run though.

They told me $520 in an e-mail on 5/29/02. HEre's the e-mail:

Yes, we do have those Pre-coated headers available. As you would expect
they are coated inside & out with our Sterling finish, and carry a lifetime
warranty. Price is $520 for the set, and that includes bolts, gaskets and
shipping within the 48 states via FedEx ground. We are out of stock on
those right now, so delivery would be about 2 weeks.

This is NOT what you would buy from Summit, Jegs, etc. Hedman & Flowtech
don’t coat the insides of the pipes. Hooker’s internal coating is merely a
line of sight spray down the first few inches of the primary tubes. Which
is why their warranty is only a year.

Our coating is expected to lower under-hood temperatures by 40 degrees,
keeps the pipes 25% cooler and get you 1-3% extra horsepower. Of course,
it's highly rust resistant as well - 140x better than paint. Because of that
we expect it to increase part life be 10x or more.

If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me line.

Thanks

Hey thanks for all your input. The place I was looking at was call Martel Bros. they seem pretty high on everything. They do have a killer selection of stuff though. Think I am going to shop around. Thanks again, sounds like they are out there cheaper.

I got the 2055 Hookers for $315 from Summit a few weeks back during their Summer X thing, they were 10% off.
