Anyone have contacts inside Hooker? I need side pipe headers.
I'm hoping that someone here on PT, perhaps someone in the aftermarket industry, has a contact person within Hooker who I could contact. I'm looking for a set of 1st Gen Camaro Hooker side pipe headers but they were discontinued several years back. My guess is that Hooker probably still has the jigs and could build a set if I could contact the right person to get the ball rolling. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a pic of a set of 1st gen Hooker side pipe headers that I'm talking about.

We had someone here at work talk to them directly about sidepipe headers for a BBC 68 Camaro and they said no, they would not make them. Even though they supposedly have all the info/plans/jigs for them. Looks like they only have them for Corvettes now.

Give Kook's a call. I don't know if they have the actual side pipe, but they do have all the bends you would need to get to the side. Then it's just a matter of finding the right size/look pipes.

I went to Kook's web site and I didn't see a header for a 1st Gen Camaro w/SBC. Maybe I missed it.
