I think the FLP's are great. The best is their conversion from orp->cats. I would personally go with the grotts though. Check out the QTP headers and see whatcha think------------------>

SLP, they have a flatter torque curve.

For straight performance and bang for the buck the uncoated Hookers are the best deal. If you need interchangable cats/off-road pipes, coatings and all that jazz something other than Hookers would be better. If your like me and just want the performance the uncoated headers and ORY-pipe are your best bet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hooker Headers $399.95
Aluminized ory-pipe $169.69
= $569.64 + ~$20 shipping + $25 used EGR AIR hookups + $90 for O2 Simms.
= $705
Still the cheapest full install for new Longtubes I believe. I have Hookers and really like them, no problems what so ever <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Me and my dad put a set of uncoated Hookers on his car in '78, they are still on it today. Coating is overrated. I have owned a couple dozen sets of headers on various cars, and have never needed coating.
That's the best LT header deal going.

You should check out Kooks LT headers, I have them and they are great quality and made some nice power.
