Use the search feature before posting. This is a common topic every single day.

I have FLP's because they are a complete kit, most people who have them love them. I think mine are great, no problems at all. You pay for what you get (easy install, cats, off road pipes, y pipe, interchangeability of cats/off road pipes, extremely nice build quality, good clearance, good coating and awesome customer service) If I had to choose to order headers again, id get on the phone, call Mitch at FLP and place an order. Hes a stand up guy and stands behind his product 110%.
You can call FLP @ 630-820-9294 (phone) 630-820-9259 (fax)

i agree with what he said FLP backs up their Product 110%...Dan at FLP was great to work with i bought my headers used and they had some rust on them and were a little banged up i called him up and he said he didnt want any of his headers out there with rust on em and told me to ship em to him and he would look at em he got them on the next few days and said he was going to ship me a brand new set since they looked pretty rough! man what a great guy and a great company! i recommend ANYONE to do business with them!! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Grotyohann, Hard to come by, hand made headers. If you can find them they are worth the wait.

Grotyohanns! Why?
1 - Because I have a set waiting to install.
2 - After paying $1300 for them, would I say anything else?

it depends on your application.

if you intend on going 'all out' with your car, like a stroker motor, or heads/cam, or anything that will see you revving past 6500 rpm, then the FLPs or Grotts are better. They really shine above 5000 rpm.

if you intend on staying with a stock motor, than SLPs are for you. They make more power from 2000 - 5500 rpm, compared to others.

also SLP's aren't any more expensive than FLPs. Actually, you can get them on GPs. Not a chance in hell in getting the FLPs on GP.

For the most part the best header is the one installed on your own car! I have SLP LT, very expensive and not to fun to install. But with that said they sound great and gave a very high SOTP feel. It seems as if there are very few people running these headers but I think it is the issue with the cost and the PITA to install. It has been a long time that I seen any posts from a dyno with these hearders. With that said I love them.
