Hooker Headers 2452HKR Details

Hooker Competition headers offer the best value in the high performance header market. Designed for the value-conscious buyer who is running either a stock or mildly-modified engine, Hooker Competition headers offer premium features at a very competitive price. Made of durable 16 gauge mild steel tubing, the Hooker Competition header design utilizes a long transition collector to reduce back pressure and increase exhaust flow. A perfect sealing surface is assured with the 5/16" machined flanges, with welded O-ring seals. Experience has proven that this flange size is ideal to maintain header integrity and be pliable enough to seal each exhaust port. Tubing is mandrel-bent to maintain metal strength and provide consistent tube diameter at radii to maximize performance. Hooker Competition headers have a standard finish that features a heat-cured, high-heat-resistant paint. Optionally, the famous Hooker Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating is available.

  • Tuned-length primary tubes for street performance
  • Mandrel-bent tubing for smooth exhaust flow
  • Light weight & sturdy 16 gauge tubing
  • Long transition collector for decreased back pressure
  • 5/16 machined flanges for a perfect seal
  • Industry™s best welds for durability
  • Designed for easy, trouble-free fit
  • All necessary hardware included for a complete installation

Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate the Hooker 2452HKR Competition Long Tube Headers for their great fit and easy installation, even noting that they've seamlessly worked with models like a '65 C10 and '70 Nova SS. Their performance and sound quality are confirmed as superior, a legacy maintained over 40 years. Despite the inclusion of unneeded brackets and minor difficulty installing the #7 spark plug, customers appreciate their good fit and that they clear all engine mounts and spark plugs. Lack of ground clearance is noted in lowered trucks. The only recommended change is using Allen head bolts for easier installation and fit. The product is highly recommended.

Fits great, clears all engine mounts, brackets and sparkplugs. I do wish they were shorter on the down tube part of headers. That would give is more ground clearance on a lowered truck.

Would look into headman or someone else for a good header , Hooker sends a bunch of brackets you don't need for a 71 Chevy truck , but the header does fit fair with the frame being cut in a few places . If your fenders and cab is on you cant notch the frame , we was lucky we are building ground up restore

Excellent product

I've purchased and talked to numerous techs who guaranteed headers would fit and sent them back. These Hooker headers were a good fit. Only change I recommend is to use Allen head bolts. The hex head bolts won't allow a socket or wrench to fit. Bolts are too close to tubes in a couple places. Look great once installed
