Default What do you guys think about Flowtech headers

I can get some flowtech headers for 360 dollars brand new. How well do they perform. I hear they are a cheap verson of the hooker headers or they flow just as good .

a buddy of mine has them on his car. they fit well, went in easy, and tuck up nice, but the flanges on the collector are thinner than other brands. he got his a lot cheaper than $360 (for just a few more bucks, you can have coated pacesetters).

but yes, they do flow well

as said above..the Flowtech flanges really aren't up to other's standards. Most are 5/16 " ...mine are 3/8" ....which translates to 6/16" ....We measured the flange and it was actually 7/16" .....
