There are new product releases and then there are NEW PRODUCT RELEASES. This time we’re talking about the Hooker Blackheart brand and the torrent of new parts they have released. Heck, they released more parts at once here than some companies have in their entire catalog! From street and race exhaust systems, shorty and long tube headers, and even LT swap engine mounts for F-bodies. This is a front to back collection of parts that can make you more horsepower, make you more sound, and make your engine swap happen.
The neat thing here for us is that these are parts that late model hot rodders can use. We so often talk about new parts for old cars. Well, these are new parts for new cars and it means that the company understands that there’s enough of a market out there with guys doing stuff to Cadillacs, Jeeps, Chryslers, and the list goes on and on.
There’s a LOAD of stuff to check out below, so check it out!
Here’s the full, and we mean FULL story from the Hooker Blackheart brand –
AXLE-BACK EXHAUST – CADILLAC CTS-V WAGON & JEEP® WRANGLER JL
Hooker BlackHeart continues to push the boundaries of performance with their latest axle-back for 2009-15 CTS-V Wagon. This 304 stainless steel, 3″ into 2.5″ axle-back comes finished with polished stainless steel tips with Hooker Blackheart logo to add maximum style to your ride. This system is engineered to offer both premium fitment and maximum performance from the CTS-V 6.2L engine. This system in particular generates significant dyno gains, 17 horsepower, and 20 foot-pounds of torque.
For the high-tuck Jeep Wrangler JLs, it’s 4 horsepower and 7 foot-pounds of torque (with a muffler) and 8 horsepower and 11 foot-pounds of torque (without one). All three offer a huge weight savings over ordinary stock exhaust systems, and all are made of 18-gauge 304 stainless steel, 100-percent hand-welded, and topped off with polished stainless steel tips with-laser etched Hooker BlackHeart logos.
Hooker BlackHeart Cat-Back Exhaust Systems are constructed from mandrel-bent 18-gauge stainless steel for maximum strength and durability. Made specifically for 6.2L/6.4L 2015-19 Dodge Chargers and 300 RTs and 5.7L 2015-19 Chargers, they feature a calibrated H-pipe design for reduced interior resonance and a deep muscle car growl. Both configurations offer completely hand-welded construction and factory-like fitment, and the 5.7L version boosts power by 12.75 horsepower and torque by 11.63 foot-pounds.
Hooker BlackHeart Header-Back Race Exhaust Systems are ideal for 5.7L 2015-19 Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300 R/Ts and are a perfect match for Hooker BlackHeart Long Tube Headers. Easy to install using OEM mounting points, these 3-inch systems offer a calibrated H-Pipe configuration and are made from lightweight mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel for the ultimate in strength and durability. For off-road/race use only.
Hooker BlackHeart Long Tube Headers come with massive 2-inch primary tubes perfect for handling supercharged and high-horsepower naturally aspirated engines. Created specifically for 2010-15 Camaro SS/ZL1s, these 2×3 full-length headers are made of mandrel-bent 18-gauge stainless steel and come with long-transition 3-inch collectors with merge spears for maximum flow and increased exhaust velocity.
Hooker BlackHeart Shorty Headers produce max dyno gains of nearly 13 horsepower and 14 foot-pounds of torque. Developed specifically for 6.4L-powered 2012-17 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRTs, they’re up to 50 percent (16 pounds) lighter than OE exhaust manifolds and made of 18-gauge mandrel bent 304 stainless steel and come with 1-7/8” primary tubes and true mitered merge collectors for maximum exhaust velocity, scavenging and less turbulence. They’re hand-welded, require no fabrication or modifications, and come complete with all the necessary fasteners for a fast, easy installation with factory-like fitment.
Hooker BlackHeart Mid-Pipe/Muffler Kits upgrade factory mid-pipes and mufflers to a full 3-inch high-flow mid-pipe that allows you to retain factory OE tail-pipes and tips for a completely stock appearance. Engineered specifically for 2017-19 Ford F-150 Raptors with 3.6L powerplants, they delete the factory resonator and are nearly 50 percent lighter (21 pounds) than factory units.
Hooker BlackHeart Swap Engine Mounting Brackets are a fast, easy way to install a GM LT engine into a classic F-Body or X-Body muscle car. Developed specifically for 1967-69 Camaros/Firebirds and 1968-72 Novas/ Venturas, this bolt-in kit works with Holley and BlackHeart’s comprehensively engineered system of mounting components, oil pans, headers, accessory drives, and exhaust products to minimize installation hassles and costs. It creates an ideal engine/transmission inclination angle critical to achieving usable U-joint working angles – especially in lowered vehicles – and comes complete with the necessary mounting hardware.
