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?

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.
