I guess I’ve been a car guy for so long that it wouldn’t have occurred to me that Hooker Headers might disturb somebody!
FWIW, the brand was started in the early 60s by Gary Hooker. When I was a wee lad a decade or so later, they were still considered an essential part of performance engine building. Headers are low-restriction exhaust manifolds that replace the stock manifolds. If you’ve ever seen a racing engine with a series of exhaust pipes snaking away from the sides, that’s what you’re looking at!
I’m sure the heart logo was intended to be a bit tongue in cheek but it has remained for nearly 60 years and is instantly identifiable to gear heads the world over.
And now, I’ll stop hijacking Nigel’s thread.
