Flowtech LT's?
Flowtech LT's? Hey guys, just wanting to see what you guys think about Flowtech LT's? I'm currently running Mac Mid's and was thinking of possibly getting a set of the Flowtech's but didn't know much about them?
I've heard that they're poor quality but I've also read from a couple people that they aren't that bad. Kind of a mixed review on them I guess. For about the same price I would highly suggest Pacesetters. 
The pacesetters are almost as cheap and get rave reviews. The flowtechs are the worst LS1 header. They leak and have tiny flanges that warp. I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole!

Verdad Gallardo I'm thinking of possibly trading my Mid's for a set but hadn't done any research on them so just wanting to get some opinions on them. Do you guys think I should trade my Mac's for a set? I've heard good about the Pacesetters which I'll probably get in the future but didn't know if it would be worth it to trade straight up for a set of Flowtechs?
You play with fire, your gonna eventually get burned. Some LUCKY people haven't encountered an exhaust leak YET. But with the thin flange, it's most likely gonna happen at some point. Why risk it, when you can buy some of the best headers(pacesetters) for CHEAP? This makes no sense to me, but do what you want. 
BTW, I'd way rather put MAC's on my car than the flowtechs. In fact, if flowtechs and JBA shorties were the only headers made for the LS1, I'd stick with the shorties.
