I just got my new 2055 Hooker headers from Jet Hot. I noticed that the bung hole for the O2 sensor is on the back side of the header. I was expecting it to be on the front. Just wanted to check before I started to put them in. Is this correct?

See pic

 

The Jet hot looks awsome!

Those look SWEET. Damn I wish I had my SLP's jet coated.



Huh huh huh, You said bunghole.

 

Why would it matter? What would you do about it if it was wrong?

 

I was just concerned about clearance between the o2 and the firewall.

 

how much were the headers? nice lookin set man.. im gunna go with out air on my set... im still up in the air on them

 

headers were 498 total. From Jet Hot.

 

Not a problem. I had to "stretch" the sensor wire a little, but no issue with clearance.

 

wow, ive heard good things about the 2055's but ive never actually seen a set. i must say, im impressed with their manufacturing...at least what i can tell from the picture...especially the y pipe. with my edelbrocks had a y pipe like that

 

I think that they are very well made. Have not yet done the install on how well everything lines up, however, I have read several posts that they were was no problems with interference.

Since I will be attaching the shorties to the block before I put the engine back in I don't expect any hassles.

I'll post pics and info after its done..

Thanks five7kid for the info!!

 

O M F G those look AWSOME!!!

 

how big is the y pipe on the 2055's?

 

A nice 3" at the cat end and 2.5 for each y tube.

 

is the hedman y pipe the same size as the hookers?

 

Mine look better

 

are they actual Hookers or are they Jet Hots version? Jet Hot is taking Hookers version of the LS1 headers and making them out of thicker steel with a thicker flange. Just wondering if they're doing the same thing with the L98 stuff now too. They look sweet!

 

Hey five7kid, I did a search and saw where you had opened up the collectors. How exactly did you do this and any sealing problems?

 

They are Hookers, they have the Hooker Supercomp PLate on the driver side header.

 

I did a fit check of the y-pipe, snugging the down-pipes up to the collectors. That left a mark on the ball flange of the collector. I then too the y-pipe back off, got out the high speed 4" angle grinder, and opened up the hole in the ball flange to the ID of the down-pipes (about 2-1/4"), centered on the marks left during the fit check. Reinstalled the y-pipe, no leak problems (except when the driver's side loosened up on me - no leaks after retightening).

 

I think ive decided i'm gonna go with the 2055's and do exactly what you did. The only thing I dont want are the air tubes. Can I just cut them off and weld the holes shut and then grind the weld down to make it look smooth again? Thanks for the info five7kid! Oh and by the way, why only 2 1/4, I thought the y pipe was 2 1/2 to 3 inch? Thanks again

 

You can do that to the A.I.R. tubes if you like.

The downpipes are 2-1/2" OD. That translates to right around 2-1/4" ID. Opening up the ball flange to the downpipe OD wouldn't increase the flow area.

 

Sorry, but I guess i'm a little slow, lol, but what does OD and ID stand for???

 

od= outer diameter
id = inner diameter

 

thats what I thought, thanks. So the hookers really only have 2 1/4 inch pipes?

 

I'm not totally sure why it faces the back. I think it is for clearance reasons so the O2 sensor will fit without problems, but I'm not totally sure. Anyone else know?

 

Unless specifically stated otherwise, everybody lists their pipe sizes by OD. So, actually flow area is a function of OD minus wall thickness for the actual ID (which will change, depending upon tubing gage, obviously).

 

:hail: Nice Looking Headers :hail:

 

Thanks for explaning everything to me. I really appreciate it and learned a lot too. Thanks!!!:hail:
