Default FLP Longtubes

I have found a set locally and from a seller on this site but I am curious about the headers them selves.

Is the major downside to them the fact that they dont have a long collector? I know this will hurt power some but I am not building the car for all out speed. Also I am considering putting Stranos springs on it and from what I read these headers tuck up higher then most others, if this is true that would be a bonus for me.

Please post up anything I should know about prior to getting these, I have searched quite a bit and not found anything that pushes me away from them but its one of those deals to good to be true things.

Im not sure about FLP's, but my hookers tuck up VERY well and other than the y-pipe/I-pipe hanging low, I could lower my car with no problems.

I ran the FLP headers on a previous setup. I believe their design is quite similar to the "Dynotech Supermaxx" headers I currently run. While there has been some lingering debate on the collector design, it does offer the advantages of ample clearance. I am lowered ~ 1-1.25" and never have had any clearance problems.

I think it is a quality header set-up. There are many excellent choices out there, but the collector issue may be a little overblown as far as any performance concern.

Good luck.

Mine fit fine, the only complaint I have is that the oil plug bolt is very difficult to get out, pretty close to the oil pan. I actually cut the end of my bolt off, and then just ran a filter magnet on the car.
