Default I think ive been mislead....

I was under the impression that flp headers were the best. I am going to be installing a tr 230/224 cam and a set of stage two heads. I am looking for a set of headers to go with my electronic cutout and stock exhaust. I was planning on using flp's and off road y pipe then through my cutout. When I wanted it quiet close the cutout and send it through the stock exhaust. but I am hearing that there are better headers out there. I can get a set of flp's with offroad y pipe for $800 slightly used. guys help me out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I have the Mac's on this page maybe check them out.Had mine on for 2 years and no leaks but I did put in the air-restrictor plate mod.They have a good ceramic coating on them that is holding up well so far.I have not had a dyno for the hp number but most claim 10-20 increase.I feel it was worth it.

Seems like I've always heard that Grots were the best. I don't really keep up with longtubes that well since I've got a set of MACs going in. Some of the big hp guys are going with stepped Dynatech headers. Don't know much about them either.

Grots seem to be the favorite(if you can find them without going through Roger Grot.), but the new Hooker's look almost as good to me. Somone had a page with LT comparisons, and I wouldn't use any other than hookers or grots.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
