My flowtechs are fine for now. For the price you can't beat them.
I could buy 2 sets of flowtechs with y pipes for the price of one hedman.

You can't even buy a case of beer for that price!
But yes I agree Flowtechs are one of the cheapest power per dollar gains you can buy. Makes me curious how long they're lasting for guys tho? 2yrs? more? with how much milage?
Since checking out the hedmans I think they're a great header for the price as well. Not a thing to complain about with them.

That weld wouldn't affect flow. It's not in the flow path, so I wouldn't worry about it.

well at least it looks like its a real weld and not just JB welded together...
hedmans are definetly the superior piece. i have had both. i had the flowtechs and then upgraded to hedman long tubes. i will say this though....any header is way better than manifolds and way lighter too. the flowtechs were great to install. they drop right in from the top on both sides, well at least for us guys with older cars with less crap under the hood.
on a side note, i found a stainless steel import header in the trash, along with a working circular saw, on the way home from work. the header has hardly been used, but there are no making on it aside from a very long alpha-numeric code which might be a part number....thoughts on how i could find out what this thing might fit, so i can ebay it up? if possible i would like to avoid talking to the import guys as i do not want to risk eye damage from the sun reflecting off their bling.
