flowtech sucks- their flangers suck- and usally warp and you wil have an exhaust leak- I have seen this first hand on 2 cars trying to go cheap. I have had my pacestters on my car for 5 years now w/o any problems. They are a great bang for the buck in the header department.

You may want to look at the texas speed and performance 1 7/8's headers- cheap but are also a nice header.

No he's not near, he just gave you his own e-mail address. AnthonyARH is with American racing headers, who makes some of the absolute best headers for our cars. They aren't cheap, they cost about $800 USD for us here in the states, but like I said, they're the best. I'd say yeah sure e-mail him, sounds like he might know how to help you out.

I'd just get some new SS ebay or used coated pacesetters with real low miles. You just need headers and the cheapest header is going to become expensive for you b/c theres no way your going to get out of shipping so you'll just have to eat that cost so just buy a good cheap pair of headers, something that lasts long like SS or at least coated at a minimum. I just bought pacestters bc i wanted a good fitment when i want to do my install and didnt want to have to weld up some air fittings on the cheap SS ebay ones. also you gotta think about ur y-pipe if you go ebay idk what y would work when i TSP(who i bought my LT's from) makes a good y. I would get good gaskets and stuff to btw, so it adds up just go cheap headers are really headers your not going to see that great of a hp difference from one brand to another especially for the money one costs vs the other. you will have much better fitment with better top name headers like ARH, kooks, QTP, etc.
