I beg to differ my coated flowtechs have worked out great for me. They are holding up WAY better than my brothers coated pacesetters that are already rusting. The have a flange on the y pipe too which elimates those leaky band clamps and have equal length primaries which are supposed to be good for a few more hp.

pretty happy with my FTs considering the price i paid.
the coating on the primaries is as good as the day i installed them. the coating on the collectors has rusted over the last 3yrs. but then again they were submerged in ocean water in a hurricane.
the welds are not pretty..but who cares
they fit PERFECTLY on my car....the 1 piece ypipe had PERFECT clearance with the frame
the 3-bolt flange is handy for quick removal of the exhaust.

what really hurts the flowtech headers is the thin flanges, after a while alot of people have issues with them leaking. otherwise fitment is great and the coating is pretty good.

I have a set of used Flowtech longtubes I haven't listed yet. PM me if interested.
They fit great and didn't leak at all once I installed "Dead Soft" gaskets between the collector and the Y.

Flowtechs are made by Hooker, and we have never had issues with them. Pacesetter is pretty good also..so it is a toss up. A cheap header is a cheaop header IMO.
We sell both here at pretty good prices if anyone is interested.
