If you haven't already bought the flowtech LT's, I'd reconsider. In this case you get what you pay for. If you want a good cheap header, then get the pacesetters. If you like exhaust leaks, then you'll be happy with the flowtechs.

I don't have any problem with mine-they seal up just fine, and they came with lots of extra parts that don't come with many header purchases-like the 02 extenders and collectors. The welds look pretty crappyy in some spots, but I really didn't purchase them for looks-mine are even uncoated-holding up just fine. If you have a problem with the headers-just call up the company. They are real good about sending out a new pair if needed since they know some bad ones get past quality control. For cats I used the soundcats-got them from some company off of ebay for 40 bucks each. They are super light and extremely free flowing and CARB if needed, and pretty slim as well. they fit nicely on my Y

I know Bob at Exotic Performance Plus actually prefers the Flowtech headers over the Pacesetters, says they seem to fit a lot better.
