Foe those who have never actually gotten to see Hookers addition to the Buick turbo!

[BetMinesFaster]

Happily removed these from my car last night! Hooker Super Comp's, by far the worst fitting headers U have ever seen and poor performance to boot!! The fitment was worse than what I would expect too see from Flotech! Ta's will be here tommorow! Way excited to drive this car!!!!!

And another.....

I had those. They were on the car when I bought it. I removed them post haste and put a set of stockers on with GREAT improvement.

I had those also on my car when I bought it. I cant believe they would design a header for a turbo application with so much additional piping. It took forever to spool up.

When I put my TA headers on it was like I added 50 horse to the car. It was insta spool .

the hookers work great on a 10 sec car

 

[BetMinesFaster]

Came off a 10 second car!! The spool time was terrible, even on the brake it was a nasty performing set of parts!

The Hookers are just a rip off of the Ellis header design. The Ellis headers were available years before Hooker stole them.

I actually paid for a used set about 8 or 9 years ago.
The guy that sold them to said they would not improve performance unless you use nitrous
He had a 125 shot of the line and his car would just disappear.

So that’s why I have been holding on to mines
When my build is done and tested with the nitrous and hookers I’ll keep you posted.

 

[Boost231]

put them on ebay and see if you can get 100 bucks for them.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

no
i really want to try them first.

Loose converter, big turbo, big stick your car will make power.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

I was told they would work well with 9.5 comp. and juice
A side of performance I like the way the look.

And Hooker or not I will build for juice So why not test the myth.
It won’t cost me anything extra I already have them.:biggrin:

[BetMinesFaster]

Come get em'

no
i really want to try them first.

Hey, Come get em or tell me where to ship em, your gonna have to fix the o2 bung, lets whore these things around a bit and let some people see what they do!!!

Our "blueTSM car" went 9.4 with those headers with a 209 ci. engine. They seemed to work good on something you could rev to 8000rpms :biggrin:

 

[VadersV6]

Theres nothing wrong with 1 5/8" primary tubes, especially on a turbo car. The problem lies with an improperly sized crossover tube..at least thats what I think. That thing is WAYYYYYYY too big!

 

[BetMinesFaster]

After putting the Ta's next to them they easily have twice the tubing and a much larger crossover pipe, the hookers were like 4300-4500 to full pressure, seems pretty slow to me? Hopefully the TA's help that!

 

[Boost231]

im sure a stroker 3.8 and a big turbo might like them or maybe a 4.1 stroker.
