Flowtech?
Flowtech? I havent found anything on this board about "Flowtech" headers on thunderracing. It says under it that its a Holly product and the picture is the same is the Hooker headers. If not, whats the difference, and has anyone bought these... just need some opinions. Thanks

My friend just bought these for his TA. Here is my impression of them.
1. Similar pipe design as Hookers (including o2 bungs on outside of collector)
2. They have a 3-bolt flange collector, not a slip fit.
3. The coating and welds are decent for a header in that price range.
4. I thought the flanges looked too thin (thinner than my pacesetters, at least. when the header bolts are torqued you can see the flanges bending.)
5. I think the passenger side header could have been designed better. Much less room around the primaries than the pacesetters for working on the car later.
6. On this particular car, there were (and still are) sealing issues with the collector flanges. It is at the muffler shop right now getting this fixed.
All in all, the headers are decent, but for the money, I still think the pacesetters are a better buy.

We have a few sets in stock & a few more coming in soon. I will be pricing them pretty reasonably to get rid of them if the quality on the next few sets are like the first set we received.... I have the 00+ in stock now with Y pipes..
