pros - cheap
cons - theyre junk. this flangers, msot dont fit all that well, sometimes the welds come apart and you can go for pace setters for a few bucks more and have a much better header

I've heard some say that they are decent headers and several say they have pretty crappy flanges. I'd go with Pacesetters for a little bit more money.

nooo no no. if youre gonna go stainless go either XS for half the price or QTP. kooks are way way way overpriced and that 250$ y pipe is restrictive and just ugh, say no to kooks

Yea Id go with Pacesetters, Stainless just isnt worth it IMO unless its a show car thats rarely driven. But yea Flowtechs are not That bad its just for around the same price you can get pacesetters which are ALOT better
