New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - Are flow tech headers any good?

I got a guy trying to sell me some black flow tech headers for $200... first question is, are they any good and will they fit on my car with no issues, second of all, is $200 a good price for them

If they are pretty new, yes & yes:)

he says they have about 500 miles on them

I have heard that they flow well not as good as qtp's or kooks or something but still good. for $200 it seems fair.

they are made by and identical to hookers, only the flanges are thinner. just dont over tourqe them and they are a great header.

they are paper thin, mine are junk looking after 1 year. only $250. ish. new.
pace setters seem to be alot better quality. if you only have $200. its ok
but for a extra $75 or so brand new pace setters are the better choice.:D

Only thing bad I've heard about flowtechs is like said above, the flanges are only 1/4" and tend to warp. I wouldn't pay 200 for them, probably 150 tops.

my flanges bent but dont leak............. so its what ever you want. save 75 bucks or buy new ones. i wouldnt be scared of them, they sealed up on both cars i put them on. only time will tell as i only have had mine for about 6months, but no worries yet.

well i know that i don't wanna do another header swap any time soon cuz with the tight space they are in its a pain having to do them so i think i'm gonna go ahead and order the new pacesetter headers... is this a good idea or should i just go with the flow tech or maybe go with another set? and if i order them where is the cheapest place to get them and what are the prices and shipping costs?

you would have kicked yourself in the ass if you went with painted, go coated but if you can afford it go stainless and you will never have to buy a set of headers again

I'm runnin' FlowTec...like 'em just fine.

so is 150 a good price? he said he'll let em go for 150 so what do yall think? good deal?

YES. Get them. Expect a good 20-25rwhp gain with an O/R Y pipe

too bad i dont get deals like this. lucky bastard.

i already have a ory pipe

i already have a ory pipe

You'll need a new one if it's not designed for LT's

...and you haven't "had" an ORY pipe till you've had the LT's to compliment 'em ;)

i had them on my TA.... had to modify where the bolt holes a little bit... and was a bit tight gettin them in... but had no problems at all with them
