Anyone use this exhaust? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a small question. I'm in the market for a new exhaust and I recently found this on summit...

Now, does anyone here have this system installed? How is the quality of the bends? I plan on using dual glasspacks. Will this system work with stock headers or will I need aftermarket ones? Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not sure what your asking when you say stock headers, but I assume you mean manifolds. From the pictures I would think not because it looks like they are made to mate with header collectors. I would say to call them to find out.
On a side note, I have purchased the Dynomax "bolt-on" systems in the past and have had good success with them, but now feel cheated seeing how these hooker kits are manderel bent?!? DOH!!!!

Yes, by headers I ment manifolds. My bad. I goofed. LOL

So what do you suggest I have to get in order to get them to fit?

When I bought the Dynomax kit it was offered for both headers or manifolds.

I guess I would suggest getting headers?

Heh...getting some headers would be nice. But, if I decide to not get headers, this is the correct kit I need for MANIFOLD back right?

I would then just need some mufflers. I have my heart set on some glasspacks but I'm not possitive. I want it to be loud, but not an obnoxious sound. I want a nice low rumble.

i have the hooker kit, it was installed on my 86 when it was 2wd. very nice mandrel bends, everything fit great. well worth the money!

No FlowMasters or what. I would go with some flows but they are pretty loud. Should be a nice setup with the glasspacks too.

That kit says "manifold back" so it looks like the right one. It isn't mandrel bent though?
