Question Do I leave hp on the table with Flowtech LT's?

With all my mods (in a sig) am I leaving much (if any) power on the table with my Flowtech LT's ??? Would I gain more hp with Pacesetters or Kooks ?

flowtechs are the same as hookers im pretty sure which are really good. longtubes are longtubes... maybe a couple horses compared to the kooks. I drove hookers and then on the same car QTP's and it feels like the hookers/flowtechs deliver more power

So I guess its not worth it to spend money on some other ones and since my Flowtechs fit perfect I should just stick with them. Anybody has a good reason, that I should get them changed for Kooks or QTPs ???

Even if it was worth 5 horsepower, which it probably isn't, would it really be worth it to switch out headers that you know fit perfectly and spend a few hundred bucks for that? Use that money towards a cam, intake mani, heads, or something else you really want. You'll be much happier that way trust me. You'd never know the difference with another set of headers on there anyways.

Spend the money on a cam or nitrous you'll definatley see better gains regardless.

if you are leaving a few h.p, its not worth swapping them out.
all LTs make about the same h.p
