Hooker blackheart exhaust system 67-69

[72OBSESSED]

Has anyone here installed one of these systems with a ridetech 4 link with success?
I see on different vendors sites that it's compatible but can't find any results that it has been done.
I'm hesitant to try it out to find that it doesn't clear.
I have a 69 with cut corner tank, 4 link and mini tubs. Trying to go 3" the entire way

I can save you a lot of hassle and frustration; the Hooker Blackheart 1st-gen F-body exhaust systems are not compatible with 4-link suspensions. There was a cut-and-paste error made on the Holley website (from the Hooker 2nd-gen F-body system listing) that stated they were, but it was corrected once we became aware of the mistake. Some distributor's listings still have the erroneous note of 4-link compatibility listed on their websites.

I can say that it works perfectly on a 2nd gen with the ridetech 4 link.

Thanks for reporting your positive experience with the Hooker 2nd-gen kit...the discription of that system is the one that the erroneous 4-link compatibility note was cut and pasted from.

Thanks for response!
You definitely saved me some time

I don't have the entire Hooker Blackheart exhaust system on Dust Off, but I do have the Hooker Blackheart SS long tube headers. I purchased and returned probably 6 or 7 sets of various brand headers from Summit because they all hung too low creating ground clearance issues. The Blackheart headers fit nice and tight to the floor and are basically flush with the bottom of the sub frame rails. Even if you don't buy the entire exhaust, you need these headers if you are running a low ride height stance.

Use the dynatech muscle max kit. You will have to cut the rear tail pipes in 3 sections and reclock which is really easy. Fit and sound is great
