Lightbulb FlowTech headers any good

Hey guys I was wondering if any has used FlowTech headers on there car. I can get them off TR for 350 bucks coated. I dont have alot of cash at the moment and I am doing a head swap so might as well get the headers done while im at it. Also will these hook up to the factory exhaust system until I can get the exhaust upgraded. Any help here would be good.

No long tube headers bolt up to the factory y-pipe. You would need to buy the flowtech y to go between your headers and catback. My advice would be to wait until you can afford the headers/y-pipe you really want. For now, buy a used SLP y-pipe on ebay - they're cheap, sounds and flows better than the stock flattened y, and you won't lose too much $$ reselling it when you upgrade to long tubes. That's what I'm doing until I can save up for either coated Hookers, or maybe even stainless Kooks or QTPs. Although some have had luck w/ the cheaper headers out there, most would agree that you get what you pay for. Good Luck.
