Hooker's new Troublemaker pipes with straight-cut ends. All these Hooker exhausts perform just as great as they look!

ave you seen those new Troublemakers yet - Harley street pipes with plenty of custom style and packing Hooker quality and performance? The Hooker Troublemaker features that big, 2 1/2-inch look everyone wants and it's coming in a swoopy set of pipes with one-piece, full-length heat shields. These new drag pipes are about more than just those good looks, too. Underneath all that flash and shine there's some serious power pumping exhaust technology at work. Hooker has always been about performance and the Troublemakers are no exception; this is a true stepped-header design, a proven exhaust technology Hooker has used since 1996. Like every Hooker Header the Troublemakers feature a metallic ceramic coating inside and out, too. That's an industry first, and it not only helps protect the heat shields from bluing it does a great job controlling the exhaust heat to keep it where it does the most good to increase flow and velocity. That's a Hooker promise.
     If you haven't already checked out the Troublemakers, do it pronto. While you're at it take a look at all the other Hooker drag pipes, too. There are shorts, longs, mid-lengths, you name it, and they're all genuine stepped-header Hookers with good looks, great sound and performance to spare. There are applications galore with pipes for Softails, Dynas, XLs and FLs all available.
And don't stop there. Hooker also has some wonderful exhausts for all the popular dresser-bikes, pipes like the Hooker Stepped-Tuned Dresser Exhausts featuring a true-dual design with a pipe on each side of the bike. These Hooker stepped-header pipes produce that broad power band that's so street usable, and they have that same metallic ceramic coating inside and out. These systems use Hooker's adjustable Tuned Flow Mufflers, as well. They allow precise tuning of the performance and sound with no disassembly required. You simply loosen a couple easily accessible screws and turn the inserts to "T" for maximum mid-range, "H" for high-RPM horsepower or any position in between.
     And talk about adjustability - Hooker offers all sorts of style options here. Turns, Straights and Fish Tail tips are all available in the Tuned Flow lineup, and they all interchange. All it takes is a quick twist of an Allen wrench and you have any look you want. The Turns have that 45-degree, 90-degree or downward-facing look, the Straight Cut is a no-nonsense exhaust tip for a clean appearance and the Fish Tails bring a taste of nostalgia to all this modern-day performance.
     All these step-header pipes - drag and dresser - are offered in two sizes because Hooker is serious about performance. One has its pipes and steps sized and tuned for engines up to 95-inches, another is sized and tuned for engines displacing 96-plus cubic inches. That might be a manufacturing nightmare for Hooker but it's great for you; choices like this guarantee a perfectly tuned set of pipes for every application. Drag Specialties keeps them all in stock so that correct set of Hooker Headers is just a phone call away. Check it all out.

Make sure and show your customers Hooker's full line of drag pipes too. (Long Staggered Drag Pipes for Softails pictured) Hooker also offers some great choices for all those popular Dressers too, like this True-Dual Turn-Out System.
