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.

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.
