Plenty of people have. Did you try a search???

Small primaries, fine for a mild 305. Poor quality, more leaks and fitment problem than most people want to deal with..

Re: FLOWTECH HEADERS

DO NOT get them...

absolute garbage.

i installed them on my motor.. and let me tell you the clean up job i had to do...

the ports on the header were tapered. they werent one solid size. seemed like they were tapered right at the ports and got bigger as it went on its bend.

second part is if you were to look inside the collector where all 4 pipes are welded together, they never cleaned up each individual pipe ... one pipe wasnt even fully open there were chunks of terrible welding job popcorn covering half of one of the tubes..
i had to take my dremle and clean it all up.. took me about 2 hours to clean both of them up..
fitment .... it felt like putting long tubes on the damn car... the flange on the passenger side hits the body..
if i new better i would have gone with headmans i heard good things about them....

you get what you pay for

Re: FLOWTECH HEADERS
