These are brand new, and I dont have any installation info, but Flowtech is a sister company to Hooker, so I would expect the design and installation to be similar.

They looked great. When I saw the retail pricing, I honestly stated "Holy ****!". But, in a good way this time

Since the flowtechs are not out yet I can not say for sure on the quality, but for the HP I would expect the same that a Hooker LT set would put out. We also sell pace setter.

Tom kind of off topic but, are you guys doing in mail order true duals yet, or is it in house only? I'm looking for an up to the axle system for a set of Jet-Hots.

I am interested in these, but need a catted-y. Does Hooker make one themseleves or could I mix and match possibly? Also, a rough estimate on RWHP would be nice. I have Loudmouth, also, factor in the catted-y. Thanks a lot.

We cannot sell the true duals at this time. We like to tuck them up tight to the body, for good ground clearance, and I would hate for people to have problems. There are some universal X-pipe kits out there, in fact Flowtech has one. The 3" kit is #FTC53623.

THere is no catted y-pipe out there for Flowtech, Hooker or even Pacesetter. We can sell you cats that you can have "spliced" in. You can also have a custom y-pipe made.

Can you guys install them along with the y pipe to check for fitment issues? I'm kinda interested but am not interested in doing any notching to the k member or have any y pipe banging the floor pan issues.

Are these being built/assembled by the same place that makes thier cutouots? Reason I ask is I just got a flowtech cutout and the welding is the worst I have ever seen!! There was welding slag stalactytes that were hanging 1"-1.5" into the ID(spent 1.5hrs w/dremel grinding) and there was about a 1/4" gap where the welds didn't meet. I am going to have to have the muff. shop weld it the rest of the way before they can install it.

We will be installing, and checking for fittment issues when we get them. I would expect them to install/fit the same as the Hooker headers, but we will verify it.

I doubt there will be stalactites hanging down in the headers tubes, if there are, we will not sell the product.

foff667....I think you are asking if it is the same design as Hooker, how can they be cheaper if the only changes are the flanges. I dont know for sure why, but I can only guess that it is because Flowtech has always sold economical exhaust products, and since they already had a design from their sister company, that would cut down on alot of the R/D time as well as tooling costs.
