Hooker Competition Shorty Headers Ceramic Coated

Hooker Competition Shorty Headers with a ceramic coating are a performance exhaust header (exhaust manifold upgrade) built for street performance, weekend racing and daily driving. They give you better exhaust flow than restrictive factory cast-iron manifolds. The shorty design keeps installation simple and preserves ground clearance.

Key Features:

• Ceramic thermal barrier coating: Resists heat and corrosion and helps lower underhood temperatures.
• Tuned-length primary tubes: Improve exhaust pulse scavenging for better performance.
• Mandrel-bent tubing: Keeps tube diameter consistent through the bends for smooth exhaust flow.
• 16 gauge tubing: Lightweight and sturdy.
• Long transition collectors: Help reduce back pressure.
• Machined flanges: Help seal each exhaust port.
• Quality welds: Built for durability.
• Hardware included: Includes the hardware needed for a complete installation.

Important Care Notes: Do not break in a new engine with ceramic coated headers. Doing so can damage the coating and void the warranty. Hooker recommends using cast iron manifolds or old headers for break-in. Hooker also advises against header wraps, because trapped heat and moisture can cause tube cracking or rust.

Hooker Competition headers are designed for buyers who want premium features at a competitive price. They suit stock or mildly modified engines.
