In other words, while they may in fact be the same, don't go solely by those pics because they may actually be promo pics of the same exact headers.

see it alot in the automotive business1. My Hookers had 1/4 inch gapped where they weren't welded which would have caused as massive exhaust leak.
2. My Hookers had most of the primaries full of slag had to have them ground out.
3. The flange wasn't level and had to be filed.
4. O2 bung was welded so it covered up half of the hole the O2 went into.
5. After 18 months my Jet Hot coated Hookers are covered in rust and my car is seldom out in any sort of weather.
Other than poor quailty the Hookers are great. I would take my chance on FlowTech because I seriously doubt you'll get anything worse than my Hookers.

Hooker and Flowtech are the same headers, the flowtech have lower quality welds and 3-bolt flanges, so no the hooker y-pipe will not work. Also the Flowtechs are made with a cheaper quality metal. I have seen both of them side by side, flowtechs have to be built on the same jig as the hookers cause all the tubes are bent in the same way. Hope this clears up your questions.

My ceramic coated Flowtech's look and perform great. Some guys have posted 29 rwhp gains even with a custom catted y-pipe...not bad at all. My install went extremely smooth and took about 4 hours, including plugs and wires, !AIR, and !EGR. Any horror stories that you guys have heard are probably from first time installers. Not to disrespect anyone, but we all know installing performing parts requires patience and some ingenuity. I've seen both the Hooker and Flowtech longtubes in person and IMO the Flowtechs have the same quality as the Hookers. I few (not-so-perfect) welds aren't enough for me to bash a product. Flowtechs are absolutely worth the money. Just think...you could always pay $1200 dollars for FLP, QTP, etc. or take the extra money and get a cam, nitrous, or whatever intrigues you.

My buddy has Flowtechs and to be honest they were the crappiest looking headers I have ever seen, the welds were terrible, the tubes stuck out past the flange almost an qtr of a inch, it was crazy. His install went easy, not that many problems. Except they leak, luckily one of the sponsers here is going to take them back and send him a new set as soon as they come in from being on backorder. When he gets them off the car we will take pics and show you how jacked up these headers are.

i got the non coated flowtech's..i was told that the ceramic coating will not last long anyway, and is a waste of money..so i am going to buy a couple cans of vht 1500 degree header paint and see how that turns out..can't be any worse than the ceramic coating will last..
has anyone tried the vht coating yet? if so how is it on keeping the rust off?
