At the heart of any performance vehicle is the exhaust system. Hooker with its classic heart logo has been at the core of the exhaust industry for decades. Many of the most powerful vehicles on the planet have used Hooker Headers. Hooker continues to push the boundaries of performance with the new Blackheart line of LS swap system components for popular muscle car and classic truck applications. Hooker Blackheart LS swap systems are comprised of application-specific components that are comprehensively designed to provide optimized levels of vehicle performance, ground clearance and installation ease, which are not capable of being duplicated with the use of universal-type mounting/exhaust components.
