Hey guys, I've been reading many past threads, and now its come time to buy headers... I know all bout SLP, TES, Hedman,etc..... But i narrowed it down to either Flowtech Ceramic coated, or pacesetter ceramic coated, bout seem really good, and have a nice price tag... Which would you recommend?

I would go with flowtech. I'm not too sure about pacesetter, but I've heard good stuff about flowtech.

I thought Flowtech was one of the most restrictive headers out there? My brother just received his, the coating is good, but they missed a few spots and there is already rust right out of the box.

hmm a choice between crap and dung. Which to choose ,which to choose. If you're going the super duper cheap route you might as well leave the stock manifolds on there and get a SLP Y pipe.

Hmmmm so y-pipe would do just as good of a job as the CHEAP'O headers??? I would get hookers but I wanted coated headers, but if none coated hookers would be better I could go that route, just looking to run cooler in the summer time, being driving in FL each summer its always HOT HOT HOT

Also if someone has a set of edelbrock headers for-sale I would buy them, I know alot of people are taking them off... I would buy and have them Jet-Coated.
