New Thirdgen products from Hooker
Just looking around and noticed Holley makes some new products for our cars including a pretty slick dual exhaust setup and LS swap headers.

Re: New Thirdgen products from Hooker
It's great that companies seem to be doing more for the third gens. However, I notice now most are favoring the LS swappers. I truly dig the LS idea, but some of us still have standard blocks, transmissions, etc and would like it if more products were available to all.

$720 for the cheapest dual exhaust they have. an exhaust shop can bend it and install it for less than that, and you dont have to do any of the work.

Re: New Thirdgen products from Hooker
An exhaust shop isn't going to make bends like unless it has the latest in bending machines nor weld it up as good.

Re: New Thirdgen products from Hooker
mine did. dual mandrel exhaust all the way out back with great bends and and great welds. had it done about 8 years ago and still holds up just like new. you just gotta go to a shop with a mandrel bending machine, which i dont think is uncommon, it cost like 20% more than press bent.

Re: New Thirdgen products from Hooker
Most shops can't do mandrel bends. And those that can usually charge enough they buying. Prebent system is cheaper.
