Having a high-quality header is one the easiest way to upgrade a vehicle's performance and engine efficiency. The Hooker Racing Heart Big Block Headers have thicker than normal primary tubes with thick flanges for solid installation and maximum seal. The exhaust pipes are crafted for a smoother surface and better exhaust flow. The long transition collectors facilitate a faster exhaust. The faster velocity of the exhaust gases and the reduction of blowback gases increase the engine's horsepower giving your vehicle more torque. All gaskets and mounting hardware are included in each set for an easy installation. These racing level Big Block Headers are available in a variety of finishes for increased customization options.

In 1962, future SEMA Hall of Famer Gary Hooker designed and manufactured a one of a kind header that boosted the performance of his new Chevrolet. Upon placing it on other cars, he found that the headers were responsible for increasing the car's speed and power. This became the foundation for Hooker Headers and the company was established in South Ontario, California.

The cutting-edge headers became the toast of the racing world and the company became more legendary for providing the headers of nearly all National Hot Rod Association champions. Using this as a platform, Hooker Headers grew from a $100K company in 1966 to a $3 million giant in 1969. This growth was fueled by the company's pursuit of innovation in the header market. Some of their breakthroughs include the development of the straight-thru glass pack mufflers, a new thermal barrier ceramic coating, the Aerochamber muffler, engine swap headers, and the use of stylish black ceramic coating. Today, Hooker is one of the most recognized brands in the world of racing and performance aftermarket.
