Cheaper because they arent as good performance or quality wise.

Someone who has done business with many people repetitively around here isnt exactly just sending money to some random person, I guess the concept that behind every small "business" theres still just 1 or 2 strangers across country, is tricky.

Re: Quik question about Hooker 2055's....

Well I just want to go with those hookers just because of the brand name..that's one of the main reasons...that's just my personal opinion though.

1. So you know Don "personally"?
2. Dose Don live IN your state and not on the other side of the country?
3. Can you take the chance at their being a "possibility" of you loosing $900?

In your case living in CA and having to possibly deal with CA smog idiots, i mean techs, i'd probably be talking with don before deciding.

Over here where I dont have to worry about any of that crap, i'd be giving them a serious consideration, and I only say consideration instead of 110% i'd buy them is because i've fabricated several sets of headers myself, so i'd have to at least consider making my own.

That i'd give them serious consideration is big being in that spot.

1. No i've never done business with him, numerous people have here on the boards, it is quite apparent he's not just someone offering up a set of headers that are new, and nobody has bought.

2. Nope, clear across the country from me technically (iirc he's in california?)


3. Again, if this were someone who popped up with one set of headers and there was a "possibility" but that is not the case, i've done business with plenty of people here for wiring harnesses being far away from them and have had very little issue, the same is the case with don. Not everyone on the "internet" is out to rip people off via the internet, some are serious about their products, the quality and craftsmanship of them, you insisting its a bad idea is **** poor, if you dont want to do business with people making better products for thirdgens, thats fine, just dont go suggesting they are out to do bad to everyone else.
