This is a double edged question. But I’ll answer it in two parts...
#1 Hookers always bolt up. I think you ment to say hook up... but nether here or there... pounding dents into Bookers is the goal but... there used to taking a beating in one form or another... so good luck there!
As far as the “Standard Starters”, ya! I’m sure they’ll break a few cherries!
#2 Now the Hooker headers for my Duster actually required a minor dent at the drivers side bottom side of the header where it met the steering box. Stated clearance was fine.
If you’d afraid to beat up on some Hookers,
(#1 or#2 :poke:)
your in the wrong game.
