I was lookin at those also and asked last week about them and got no feedback. Hookers pipes are damn expensive and if I'm gonna shell out $800 on an exhaust I wasnt to get some real world experience first.

Thanks....so you havent seen any quality issues, and or rust. Was reading on another site, and seemed to be a few complaints with quality. But, not sure how old they were, and if there is a second generation of these piepes. I really like the look, and the sound is supposedly awesome, just want to make sure they hold up...thanks!
PS were did you purchase?

Had them about a year, very well built,no rust even though I live a block from the beach. I stole them in an Ebay auction for $260 and now after owning them, I would not hesitate to pay retail for them if needed. I had a Thunderheader before and these have every bit as much torque but the sound is greatly improved, especiallythe idle. Another added benefit is the stares they get, people are like WTF are those? And where did you get them? Everyone that has heard them agrees, the sound is very awesome.

I'm happy with mine. Great sound, picked up low end torque I lost with my old Yaffe X-pipes, and they cool!
