Default Any one using these headers

Anybody using these header on there car. If so any fitment issues and did you install them your self. I am looking to start modding my car finally. Had it two years and its still on stock power. Was going to after taxes last year but my trans took a crap. Any way any input would be great . Also good idea for a first mod with true duals?


Here are the headers

Flowtech Exhaust
Flowtech Longtube Headers
These tuned length headers have all emission control devices accommodated. They are built with 1-3/4” primary tubes that improve the engine ability to breathe over the stock manifolds. Flowtech headers come finished with a baked on high heat resistant black paint or for a show look or with a Metallic Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating. This coating provides improved thermal stability reducing the possibility of header cracking. The high luster finish is rust resistant and acts as an insulator resulting in higher exhaust temperatures within the system to increase performance while lowering the under-hood temperatures.

Includes, gaskets, hardware and O2 extensions

18 Gauge Thickness (Same as Hooker)

If money is not an issue, go with with either kooks or American Racing headers. I hear really good stuff about their products. Best fit in finish you can buy.

Money is sort of an issue, but biggest issue for me is fitment. I dont want to have to do a ton of work just to get them on. I really dont care what they look like as long as they get results.

Any one using these headers-xpipe.jpg

Any one using these headers-pace.jpgHow do you thinks these will go together and work with each other.


Flowtech Exhaust
Flowtech 3" Universal X Pipe
Universal X Pipe kit includes X and piping for custom installation off long tube headers, add some bullet mufflers and turndowns and you are ready to go!

With
Pacesetter Headers
Pace Setter Headers
Starting with 3/8"-thick steel plate and 1-3/4"-diameter carbon steel alloy tubing, each header is precision-crafted to insure proper fit and seal. The mandrel-bent tubing insures maximum flow to the 3"-diameter collector and on into the mandrel-bent Y-pipe. These headers replace the stock cast iron exhaust manifolds and have provisions for all smog and engine management hook-ups. Each pair is available with the standard black paint and optional ARMOR*Coat, our polished metallic-ceramic finish. Includes fasteners and gaskets.

Well that bolt on x-pipe will not work for an f-body unless you bought all the bends and cut it to fit. There are not too many true dual x pipe systems out there. You may want to check out Texas Speeds true dual kit or have one custom made.
