WHAT??? There's nothing wrong with my dynatechs except that they cost about half of what your FLP's did.
I would get hookers next time since the collectors are welded on those. I've heard the construction isn't as good though.

pros and cons. i have the dynatechs, and i love them. the pros would be...
ease of installation(probably the easiest header to install)
no egr or A.I.R. hookups
good ground clearance
the cons would be...
no egr or A.I.R. hookups
collectors leak if not sealed properly
i can only comment on one thing about hookers
they arent year specific(which is why i didnt buy them)
but the hookers are cheaper than the dynatechs
hope that helps

If you're interested in some 1 7/8" Grot LTs, let me know. I know where some are. And they're not called Grots anymore. They're called 1 7/8" TA's, Tubular Automotive.
