What do you guys think about hooker super comp longtubes? I just picked up a set of 1 3/4 into 3" and wonder what im getting into and if i can expect some gains over 1 5/8 shorties.

Thanks

 

You better have a stout motor to put them on or your gonna lose performance and HP rather then gain it. The larger headers will shift you hp and torque up some rpm.

 

Its a 355 with procomp heads and a 253/253 .560/.560 cam. Its a 3-4k rpm+ motor

 

If its basiclly for the track go for the super comp's. If its a street car its a toss up.

 

Its a street strip showcar that's built to sound and look like a racecar. The main goal is to scare mustangs first and go fast later

 

I would stay with a 1-5/8 header and you will pickup the lower rpm torque for street use since your probably going to be driving around at 2k rpm anyway. Since you have a t5 and a 4.10 it should be pretty good on the street all ready.

 

I had them. Pain in the neck to put in but they did the job real well. If you have a cam like that than you should have already had these headers IMO.

 

haha well thats why im getting them the shorties just dont cut it

 

1.75" primaries should be mandatory for boost

 

sounds like a good setup im just n/a

 

i had them on my old car.. very nice headers! sound was great too

 

awesome, thats half the battle :-)

 

I was also thinking of buying the Hooker Super Comps. For a little extra money. I think the Ed Quay headers my be a better fit. Anyone have experience with these?

 

Yes, the fit is awesome for no exhaust system. They exit right before the tranny crossmember like 2210's. I have a thread concerning these on this board. I had to fab up a double hump crossmember for get exhaust to work. But then again I had no bends in my exhaust.

 

I found your thread shortly after I posted that. They look great. My mind is made up.
