Default Flowtech LT's GO OR NO GO?!?!?

Is $340.00 a decent deal on these headers???? They are on ebay...claimed to be brand new, silver luster ceramic coated.....tell me what you think...thanks.

Oh and what kind of HP jump could I expect from these from all stock exhaust?
Thanks

read the Exhaust Review sticky on the External Engine forum. I wouldn't buy them. Spend a little more on some PaceSetters or JetHots. All LTs make about the same power .

HELL NO!!

Do a search for some of the horror stories posted by people that bought these things.

Spend $30 more and get a set of Pacesetters that have proven themselves over and over again. To be a good bang for the buck.

Look into Pacesetter for a good, low budget header. They fit great now that the design has been changed.

Hmm, guess I got very lucky then ... we have FlowTechs on our race car and have had no problems.

Yeah, I have a set on my car and couldn't be happier with them. Sure, I'd like to have a set of SS Kooks, but for the $$$ I was very happy with them. The coating is holding up well, no leaks, no fitment problems, and they've been on for nearly a year. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones too, who knows?

Those things fit like **** and can't possibly compare in performance to any other header.

Care to explain how they fit like "****"? Mine went in with ZERO problems. No grinding of the K-member or anything. And the design is pretty much identical of the Hookers, with the exception of the 3 bolt flange instead of slip fit, and thinner flanges. But I don't see them performing any worse than a set of pacesetters or Hookers hp wise.
