That's ridiculous. Is this why people put loud pipes on there car? To scare people. Then laugh about it and think it's funny.

 

I dont do it to scare others, she just happened to be there. I dont get off on it so dont put me into that category. This was a 1 day thing since Im between exhaust work.

What a party pooper...

You don't run open headers just to scare people... it's also to set off car alarms, drive through parking garages and under tunnels, through underpasses, etc.

LOUD is good!!

 

any video?

 

I think its funny Keep up the good work!

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing/hearing the video/sound after you get them installed.

 

New topic posted with the video clip but it will take a few minutes to DL it. It should be worth it though.

BTW, the center to center of my Hooker Collectors is 22.5" or so.

so i am sorry if i missed this somewhere else, but I am thinking of going with a similar setup, and I was wondering what midpipe u are going to run with the loudmouths? and will it have cats?

 

Im using the stock H-Pipe right now and plan to continue to use it. I still have to get the rear O2 sensor ports plugged so I dont get that aweful leak sound when I put my foot into the pedal.

I think these Hooker LTs and SLP LMs would benefit from an X-Pipe in the sound department but I dont yet know if I want to go that route just yet.

Also, Im dropping the car off for a 4 wheel alignment tomorrow afternoon and Im going to have the guys also make sure the entire exhaust system is properly aligned and free of leaks.

The next project is header maintainance, if the gaskets arent sealing properly I'll have to get a new pair and I'll throw in some locking header bolts while Im at it.

I'll update you all again when I have a chance.

so wait... you have the stock cats in place still? I guess, I misread and thought you got LT headers..... in which case i didnt see how the stock H would fit.

 

No, they are Long Tubes, I even used the "LTs" in my post. The cats are lost, not to be installed again for about 5 years.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the info you have provided. I think I remember reading somewhere that the JBA LT's won't work with the factory motor mounts. How is the clearance with the Hookers? Anything closer than you would like? Thanks again.

 

The clearance is of absolutely no consequence, there is plenty of room for the motor to kick over and not hit anything. I have to jack up the car again in the morning to push the H-Pipe further onto the collector so I'll try to get those pics to you all.

-Dan

 

Thanks Dan. All the info, pics, and video you have provided as been very helpful.

 

Here are those extra pics.

Thanks Dan!! I love seeing lots of pics of installs!!

How much were those Hookers?

(hmmm... that didn't sound right, did it?)

 

Awesome Dan!! Those things look great! Very nice pics. I'm leaning towards these more and more everyday.

 

The Hookers arrived at my door for about $625.

Also, the balck half or the SLP Loudmouths have been pulled since they just create way too much resonation now. Im just running the front half straight pipe right now and its now "tolerable" again.

Im thinking about pushing some turn downs on both rear pipes so I can hear what it does to the tone.

The car is also finally being put up on a rack tomorrow morning so the hangers can be rewelded or bent correctly as to not rub the transmission crossmember.

thanks for the great info.. I just order the same set up from Summit as well... I was goona keep my SLP's but I guess I'll have to hear it and see if I can stand it, are you goona get a new set up mufflers now???
