In 1962 Gary Hooker, founder of Hooker Headers, designed a header
for his new 409 Chevrolet. He immediately found a demand for this header
from other racers in the area. It was not long before Gary had hired
employees and was operating out of a small building in South Ontario,
CA. In 1965, however, a fire wiped out most of his factory. The forced
move was a turning point. Hooker Headers was relocated to a new building
on Brooks Street in Ontario. With the additional room, Gary Hooker
was able to put some production ideas to work and he was soon out-producing
the competition.
Hooker is the production leader of performance exhaust products and components.
Gary Hooker's passion for process and equipment design has resulted in
a state-of-the-art production facility with much of the equipment and
tooling being custom-designed. Hooker's own header assembly fixtures
assure a proper fit. Milling flanges instead of grinding, eliminates
header leaks. Proper welding sequences reduces header fatigue and possible
cracking. Hooker's unique long-transition collectors reduce turbulence
and improve flow. Hooker also offers a variety of finishes all done in-house,
including baked-on high temperature paint and Metallic Ceramic Thermal
Barrier Coating.
An advantage that Hooker has maintained over its competition is the
wide range of products offered. Hooker maintains thousands of different
part numbers. While it may be possible to fit 2 or 3 car models with
one part number, a difference in design might be needed to allow optimum
performance. Hooker will design that header. "What we want," says
Dave Spangler of Hooker, "is the very best possible product as
opposed to one that only does an adequate job."
In recent years stepped-style headers have become very popular with
many header manufacturers. Hooker has been developing headers using
this technology since 1968. It's no wonder that Hooker headers has
gained a major share of the high quality header market with its Super
Competition and Competition brands of headers. Hooker is also addressing
the 50-state street legal emission compatible header market with many
applications for late model domestic cars, trucks, SUVs and import
sport compacts. You can put Hooker performance and quality in your
daily driver and not worry about failing the next emission test.
Hooker recently entered the performance under-car market with a complete
line of performance mufflers. New products include the sophisticated
Aero Chamber that outflows the most popular performance muffler by
23%, the straight-through design Maximum Flow and all-new Tuned Flow
Meg muffler which provides adjustability of sound and performance without
disassembly. The new 4" Aero Chambers and Maximum Flow race mufflers
are now available.
Complimenting the performance muffler lines are the Super Competition
Cat Back exhaust systems. These feature 50-state legal performance
using mandrel-bent aluminized tubing, Aero Chamber mufflers and show-quality
chrome Hooker Tips. Currently available are many late model domestic
cars and trucks with many other applications in development.
Hooker tips are available in many sizes and styles. From the classic
European-style tips to the all-new large bore rolled-style tips, you
can complete your Hooker exhaust system with a great-looking tip with
exceptional quality.
In 1999, Hooker was purchased by Holley Performance Products. As part
of the Holley family, Hooker will be able to expand its line for quality
exhaust systems and components even more than previously, with new
and innovative products. In the future Hooker Headers, as part of the
Holley family, will remain well-positioned in the market as the choice
of enthusiasts who want high quality products.
