Hooker Exhaust Manifolds- I think I like em!

[SquareRoot]

So I stumbled upon these manifolds that I didn't know existed. My first thoughts are they are exactly what I'm looking for. While typing this, I see on the sidebar that @RCSB73 asked about them about a year ago.

Has anyone used them on a square? They look like they will fit just fine. I really like the features, material, cross-section, clean, and ceramic coated. I'm soo wanting to ditch my long tube headers and dual exhaust! These would allow me to run the high-flow, inline cats and get rid of the fumes as well.

Somebody should try to talk me out of this.

That setup looks pretty good.

They look nice. Everybody I know that runs them on LS swaps love them. A couple buddies of mine just swapped back to the Hooker manifolds from longtubes cuz they liked the sound better with the manifolds

They look awesome. I really like your truck chassis with the LS engine on it. Nice done sir. I have a pretty rare 76 Step side with the factory 400 in it. I keep thinking of doing an LS 6.2 swap but thinking it will devalue the truck. I am in process of a complete restoration on it. Any ideas on doing the LS swap? Thanks in advance and I can’t wait to see your finished product. It will be amazing. @hoagster

Think what you want about value $ but LS swapping my truck (5.3/4L60) was the greatest improvement I've made to this vehicle. I literally transformed my truck. It is a joy to drive, Sounds killer and gets almost twice to milage.
Except for the rarest of rare all original.... i don't think a well done swap hurts the value at all.

Agree! after owning and building few square (305-350-454- TPI-LS) LS give me best in performance, fuel economy, relybilities and easy to found and maintenance at cheap price!....and for the topic: i use 2010 Camaro SS exaust manifold for $100!

Thank you fellas for your reply. I am going to look for a 6.2 set up soon. My wife’s has over 400+ factory horsepower and it’s very fast for a giant pig. I use her Yukon Denali XL to pull my trailer when I have something to pick up. My Silverado can’t tow as much as hers and it rides so nice when it has a trailer with a truck on it. Thats why I want the 6.2. Just need to find one that is in good condition.

Wow that's a clean engine bay! I thought mine was nice...
