    I'm looking at a set of Hooker 6901-2HKR headers and just wondering if anyone else has them and how do they like them. I have power steering so I am a little concerned with clearance issues. How difficult are they to install and how close do they come to the side pillars, would it be best to use header wrap to keep the paint from burning off?

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Just need the drop down braket for the power steering. 6901s seem to be one of the favorites on here.

    Hooker does not warranty any header when any kind of wrap is applied. The wrap holds moisture against the header and they rust away very fast - Don't use wrap.

    The 6901-2HKR are stainless steel headers

    Why are they painted?
    You don't think stainless can corrode?
    The warning is on the Hooker website - I am just passing it on.

    I have Hooker 6901's and am very happy with them. No power steering though.:)

    Stainless does not prevent moisture corroding it. I've had to replace several joints of stainless pipe(sc40) not tube, that has corroded in a steam heat application. Heat & water tear up all kindsa stuff.
