what do you guys think of the flowtech headers?
Joe

 

Cheap crap.

 

Same price as Pacesetters, so why not go with Pacesetters?

 

exactly what i was gonna say. just get pacesetters, they r the best bang for the buck.

 

I beg to differ my coated flowtechs have worked out great for me. They are holding up WAY better than my brothers coated pacesetters that are already rusting. The have a flange on the y pipe too which elimates those leaky band clamps and have equal length primaries which are supposed to be good for a few more hp.

 

pretty happy with my FTs considering the price i paid.

the coating on the primaries is as good as the day i installed them. the coating on the collectors has rusted over the last 3yrs. but then again they were submerged in ocean water in a hurricane.

the welds are not pretty..but who cares

they fit PERFECTLY on my car....the 1 piece ypipe had PERFECT clearance with the frame

the 3-bolt flange is handy for quick removal of the exhaust.

 

what really hurts the flowtech headers is the thin flanges, after a while alot of people have issues with them leaking. otherwise fitment is great and the coating is pretty good.

 

Thin flanges? They are the same as any other header i have seen.

 

i'll say go with pacesetter because they have the same price as flowtech

also we had a problem with flowtech headers (Leaks)

 

Your not gonna find a brand that doesn't have an ocasional problem.

 

I've had the FT for 2 years without any problems and i would buy them again if i had to.LOVE MY FLOWTECH'S

 

my ft dnt leak, and still look great. as far as i know pacesetters are not equal or tuned length, its mostly on your opnion i suppose. if money isnt an issue then buy kooks. great headers

 

I have a set of used Flowtech longtubes I haven't listed yet. PM me if interested.

They fit great and didn't leak at all once I installed "Dead Soft" gaskets between the collector and the Y.

 

Flowtechs are made by Hooker, and we have never had issues with them. Pacesetter is pretty good also..so it is a toss up. A cheap header is a cheaop header IMO.

We sell both here at pretty good prices if anyone is interested.
