Default Re: Hooker Headers

If I remember correctly, my Doug's Headers were over $650 - with the Ceramic coating, for a small block! (going for the old school look!).

Chuck, you might consider buying uncoated Hookers from Summit or Jegs, etc. install them on the car, break in the engine and then remove and send to Jet Hot for coating. This would ensure the best durability albeit at considerably more hassle.

Marlin, you're right about the price. My Doug's 1 3/4" x 3" were about $950 by the time I got them back from Jet Hot, with both the headers and reducers coated. I think they will be worth it in the end...

Chuck, if you do send Jet Hot new headers, make sure to pull the gaskets and bolts from the box first. Their shop in Arizona misplaced mine for a while, but found them and sent them to me. Very good customer service actually. Also, make sure you tell the header manufacturer you're going to get them Jet Hot coated and they should be able to build them without chrome or ceramic finish. Should save you $30-$50 as Jet-Hot won't have to strip the finish before applying their own.
