flowtechs are ok..nothing special about them. i have them and they fit well and they serve there purpose. they are not going to win you any car show or nothing, but they are cheap and give the same h.p. gains as any other LT header.

Mine are great, install was cake, and no clearance issues. Basically I'd rather buy flowtech LT's than spend over a grand on a set of QTP's....unless I was gonna drive around with my hood opened. All longtubes put out nearly the same HP numbers, however, they will vary with different applications. Some people talk **** about Flowtechs, but this is my first set of LT's I've ever installed and I really didn't see any reason to bitch.

Got em and love em, would buy them again for sure. Had them for 4 months or so, no rust, leaks or problems at all. The fit was perfect and I was extremely satisfied with them. I don't know why anyone would pay twice as much for a different set of headers.

I have them and love them also. You can hear and feel the gains. My only complaint is the crappy gaskets they ship with. I used them because I bent my OEM when I removed it and I blew out the driver side gasket within 3 days. I bought a set of Percys Dead Soft gaskets and havent had a problem since.
