cb350 hooker exhaust??

[longjohns]

do they still make these? i think they look great. i want to get a set for my build. maybe someone has a set they are looking to get rid of?

Hooker is still around but those pipes haven't been made in decades. Those are for the CLs. I have the CB version on my bike. They pop up on ebay sometimes.

they are great looking pipes. does anyone happen to know what size tube the headers are?

Those pipes on the #89 bike are exactly what I'm going to fabricate this winter out of stainless. Certainly won't be cheap, but I think they look great!

It wouldn't be too hard or too expensive to make these if you used mild steel. I'm toying with the idea of making a production jig when I make my exhaust. That way I can turn some out for others.

"nothing blows like a hooker"

They're really nice. If you have a spare $750 lying around they kind of remind me of the Pea Trap exhaust on Benjie's "El Poquito":

i dont like how benjies pipes go inside the frame. i was asking about tube size so i can just make some exhaust with a bunch uf j-bent pipes. shouldnt be too hard. does anyone know?

Here's a close up shot of the El Poquito exhaust from the front if it helps:

On my bike, I used 1.5" primaries merged into 2"

the only tubing i found around that size was mild steel for turbos but they didnt have just j-bends. i might just have to wait around for a cl350 stock exhaust. i think that alone is nicer than stock cb exhaust.

Do NOT search eBay for Hooker. Just don't do it.
