The older Hookers bolt up without denting them. It seems Hooker, like the rest of the businesses in this country has sent their manufacturing to the chicoms, so they may be shitaroo now.
The 5204’s and the 5303’s both clear a standard starter. When those headers were designed there were no mini starters!! That’s how old I am. In fact, I bought my first set of 5204’s in 1980, and 5303’s in 1984.
I still use both today. My junker has 5303’s on it and I was lucky to find those.
