At the heart of any performance vehicle is the exhaust system. Hooker with its classic heart logo has been at the core of the exhaust industry for decades. Many of the most powerful vehicles on the planet have used Hooker Headers. Hooker continues to push the boundaries of performance with the new BlackHeart line of performance exhaust systems for most popular applications. The BlackHeart line is truly a platform designed full exhaust program. From the cylinder head flange to the tailpipe, the BlackHeart line is engineered to provide maximum exhaust velocity, ground clearance, style, performance, and quality! This swap exhaust begins just ahead of the transmission crossmember (we recommend 71222005HKR) and allows the use of catalytic converters, factory manifolds, or any Hooker LS manifolds (8501HKR, 8502HKR, etc.) A connection will need to be fabricated to connect these components as they will not bolt up directly. When it's time to tear the heart out of the competition - choose BlackHeart!

Features:

  • This exhaust system is designed for direct bolt-in compatibility with the Hooker Swap System
  • 409SS construction options-provides two levels of corrosion resistance and affordability
  • Fabricated merge-style crossover- provides enhanced power and sound attenuation
  • T-56/T-56 Magnum transmission specific system - provides optimized component/ground clearance
  • Bolt-on installable 2.5” true dual configuration- provides improved sound quality and performance potential over typical single-muffler/pipe systems
  • Compatible with all factory components- does not require removal or replacement of factory suspension parts to install
  • Polished dual-exit, laser etched tips- provides unique appearance to rear of vehicle
  • 100% polished 304SS mufflers and tips used in all systems-provides long-term good looks and corrosion protection on these highly visible components
  • Does not require use of aftermarket suspension components for installation

This product is engineered to facilitate the installation of a later model, emissions friendly engine into a vintage / classic vehicle. Federal guidelines indicate that an engine swap is allowable if one or more of the following conditions apply:

  • If there is a reasonable basis for knowing that emissions are not adversely affected as described in the EPA Tampering Policy dated November 23rd, 2020
  • The resulting vehicle is identical (with regard to all emissions related parts, engine design parameters and engine calibrations) to a certified configuration of the same or newer model year as the vehicle chassis
  • The vehicle is a uncontrolled vehicle - Vehicles that were manufactured before emission control regulations took effect are called uncontrolled vehicles. Aftermarket parts regulations and anti-tampering laws do not apply to these vehicles
  • An EO legal engine swap kit is utilized (such as a GM EROD)
  • The vehicle is being used for Competition Use Only - Racing Use Only Vehicles are vehicles that are used exclusively for competition that are not registered and that may never be used on the street

Consumers are responsible for complying with laws prohibiting tampering, and for ensuring that modified vehicles are operated in a manner that complies with applicable laws.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, Environment Canada, and other regulatory agencies prohibit the operation of vehicles on public roads that violate applicable emissions standards. The alteration of certified production vehicles to modify, remove, or render inoperable emissions control hardware or software, known as "tampering" is prohibited by the U.S. Clean Air Act and other laws. Tampering with motor vehicles emissions control systems is punishable by substantial monetary penalties.
