Tailpipes, and Hooker cat back questions
Does anyone offer stainless tailpipes for a third gen? Just looking for round 2-1/2" stainless tailpipes with a slash cut end. I want to get a Hooker cat back, but I don't like the clamp on tips they offer in the kit.
Also, what kit should I get? It looks like two are offered.

Is one of these for a dual cat setup, or something? I see they list engine codes in each, just want to know the differences. The car is a 2.8 originally, getting an L03 swapped in initially. I have flow tech headers and y pipe I plan to use initially. Is the 3 bolt flange going to leak at the muffler? Or do I just scrap the Hooker cat back idea altogether and buy the Mac system I know is good?

Any help is appreciated.

Re: Tailpipes, and Hooker cat back questions
I google searched instead of using this site's search and found this:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/exha...tween-h-o.html
So the 16823HKR kit is the way I'll go.
I still can't find tailpipes I like though.

For 2 1/2" factory style, aluminized tailpipes, try Walker/Dynomax #43243 & 43244. While they aren't stainless, they can be polished nicely.

Re: Tailpipes, and Hooker cat back questions
Yeah I saw those, but I think maintaining a polished look on those would be a pain if they even polish up nicely. Thanks for the suggestion though. Worst case scenario, I have some 2-1/2" stainless tips I cut off a fox body that I can weld to the Hooker tailpipes. The stainless tailpipes I like the most are Magnaflow and OBX ones, but I don't know where to get just the tailpipes. The OBX 3rd gen catback doesn't appear to even be available anymore.
This car belongs to freaky on here, and I really dig the look of the OBX tips:
