Keeping the heat out of the engine bay in the exhaust is near the top of every performance minded car guy’s mind. Hooker Headers brought their new Darkside Black Ceramic Header Coating to the show this year. Designed to handle temperatures up to 1700° F without any discoloration while maintaining adhesion to your headers after repeated heat cycles. Hooker claims that this coating provides a higher heat tolerance threshold than is available from silver ceramics, including their offerings! That means if you are running a turbo, blower, or nitrous you can lower those excessive exhaust temperatures commonly associated with those systems.
Most importantly the coating helps to lower under hood temperatures and prevents heat from migrating through the header assembly. Plus, Hookers Darkside Coating gives you a nice looking finish that prevents corrosion and protects your headers.
Hooker Headers also brought a few odd ball parts to the show. Case in point is this set of headers below designed to bolt right up to the GM LS1/LS2/LS3 engines, this long tube offering has a little more to the design than you might think.
What makes these headers interesting is they were designed to fit into a 1955-1957 Chevy. Hooker also offers them with a few different options to make sure these headers work with your hot rod. They are sold in two different designs and three different finishes. The different finishes give that custom look to your car while the two different designs are for different steering set-ups such as the Saginaw 605 conversion, Unisteer rack and pinion, or even if you are still running stock steering.
