for $270, you're talking about the uncoated headers. that is a huge, monstrous, terrible, horrible mistake. you want at LEAST coated headers. either coated or stainless. DO NOT get normal painted headers. painted headers, especially ones as thin as flowtech's, will rust out in no time. the coating protects the header, makes them last years longer and keeps the heat locked inside and out of your engine bay.

once you add the coating, you're looking at $350-$400. at this point, you may as well step up to pacesetters. pacesetters are a far superior header. they are thicker, made better and fit better. get pacesetter coated headers for $375. you'll be happy with your purchase, i promise.

I would never buy a set of flowtech's. Every set I've ever seen has sucked.

Look into the Pacesetters, especially the coated ones.
