Default Flowtech's VS. Hooker
I just noticed today that Hooker is made by Holley as well as Flowtech...and the headers are IDENTICAL to my eye...is there any difference besides price?

they are not the same, i have a pair of hookers on order due to the fact the flowtechs were pos's and would not fit.

they are not the same, quality seems to be severly lacking for the flowtechs.

Yup. I have a set of the flowtechs on my car and am getting ready to replace them with either a set of Kooks or QTP's.

I also have flowtech's. After removing the steering linkage on driver-side and heatshield and starter on pass-side, headers slid right in with no clearance problems.

From my experience with their parts quality is lacking (nonexistent?) in EVERY flowtech product.
