Are these 4 seperate tube headers? Or are they connected by a flange? This is where I hate name brands. I fought my hookers for years before I gave up and bought some "cheap" Heddmans .....4 tubes, connected by a flange that is like 3/8". I can bolt them on in like 10 minutes each now. No more fighting to get bolts in....I say, dump the Hookers for a good header. (had my heddmans on and off a dozen ttimes in the last ten years and still love em)

I can hear you guys now but, in my book...Hookers are garbage! ALL you are buying is the name.

I recommed Percy's seal for good gaskets and JBA headers. I have both and would not change them.

I don't care for Hedman headers. Almost every pair I have seen had defects like small pin holes in the welds.

I don't know of any issues with Hooker besides what people say, so I can't comment on that.
