So, TTi says my Hookers are made wrong, are they full of crap?
Hey guys. TTI got back to me about this. Heres what they said.
Hello Paul,
I remember this guy. He was never told that the Hooker headers were made wrong!
We asked him to check the stamped part numbers on the part to make sure it is correct for his headers. If they were correct, then the flange clocking may vary from the headers we bought from Hooker years ago to use as our mock-up guide. We run into this every once in awhile. T
he Hooker collector flanges have been clocked differently depending on where their headers have been manufactured; US or Mexico.
Sam explained to him how to cut and rotate the adapters to make them work.
It shouldn't have been a surprise to him because we put in every header adapter kit box this note so everyone will be aware that modification may be required.
"HEADER ADAPTERS: Adapters to mate Hooker, Hedman or Thorley headers with TTI exhaust systems were designed at Tube Technologies Inc. utilizing new unmodified Hooker, Hedman and Thorley headers. Precision tooling-fixtures were designed to insure exact replication of each different adapter. Should your adapter not fit your header properly, it will be necessary to modify the adapter to fit your particular header variation."
It is impossible for us to keep up with header variations and purchase everyone else's headers to ensure our 6"-12" long adapters will directly bolt-up to every header.
You know, he didn't even mention in his gripe that we offered to modify the adapters if he gave us the bolt pattern dimensions. He never called or sent the adapters back.
Thank you for your interest and consideration of our TTI Performance Exhaust & Header products.
Best Regards,
