I would not buy the flowtechs. They have thin little flanges and are not very good quality. Pacesetters are the best buy for the money and you wont be dissapointed. They have arguably the best fitment out there too.

my flowtechs work just fine..... they are cheaper than pacsetter cuz they come with extensions ususally and why get coated you cant see them anyways and i have had mine on for 2 years and very little rust..... and screw what they say about how they flow better being coated you can take that 2 bills you spend on the coated ones and do somthing else with it..... bang for the buck folks .......thats whats its all about

I have the craptech's. If I could go back and do it over I would have gone with something else. fitment is better than the pacesetters, but the damned flanges leak no matter what. Even with the extra thick crush gaskets.

The Hooker comp headers are in the same price range. I'd go with those.

Default ordered pacesetters but no Y

I ordered the pacesetters from texas-speed but looking around the forum i saw that alot of people were unhappy with the fitment of the TSP Catted Y so i didn't buy it. Is there any other catted Y that will fit with the pacesetters that has better fitment then the TSP Y?

Pacesetters are a better product. Like a hooker just starting out. They are what we like to call a "good bang for the buck".
