"Import" Shorty Headers?

So I am looking into shorty headers.

Seems like the best option are the Hooker headers.

But......

I see that there are "import" headers that look to be a direct copy of the Hookers but at half the price.

Anyone use these before?

I had a set of "import" headers for a 2009 Pontiac G8 and they fit perfect.

Not looking to start a big kerfuffle about "import" headers; just looking for honest feedback.

(By the way, I used to have a GTO and if you typed OBX on the GTO forums when you post, it translated it to "I eat my own poo.")

The 6th gen Camaro SS already has shorty headers. The hookers are very minimal improvement.

KingLT1 is correct, the stock manifold is a tri-y shorty. It's only really worth going full length on these gen 6 cars.




(The set on the top is the stock manifolds)

Interesting.

Thanks, for saving me some money.

I wonder what dyno "adjustments" Holley is using to show a gain with their shorty headers.
