If you search flowtech I think you'll find that they aren't the way to go.
Go with pacesetters if your looking for cheap, easy install and well built product..

I installed the flowtechs on my car about a month ago,Ive had no issues whatsoever. Dont overtorque the bolts, the flanges are a little thinner than normal. In my opinion they are about the same quality at the pacesetters. I had no issues installing them either, just make sure the car is high enough off the ground.

I cant let you make a mistake. If you want the flowtechs then by all means buy them, but I cant let you think they are the same build quality as pacesetters. The flanges are a joke period. They have a dent in one of the tubes to clear the k member unless they have redesigned them. They also have flanges on the collector so you will need their y pipe or have flanges put on yours.

Just stay away from them dude and spend the same money on a good pacesetter header.

Are these the new design pacesetter you guys are talking about ? because about a year ago i heard that the pacesetter leaked and werent that great . I think they were going to make some newly designed ones , have they made them yet ?
1) Suppose to not Leak.
2) Suppose to fit in better.

thanks.

Yes. The LT's that pacesetter makes now, fit good and don't leak. Can't beat them for the price. You will find a couple of people that haven't had a problem with the flowtechs, but the majority will say they suck. There are tons of threads about fitment and leak issues with the flowtechs. The new pacesetters are a cheap, great quality header that can't be beat for the price.
