RE: Longtube question again
Well i browsed summit myself cuz i was curious. Cheapest is Flow Tech but they aren't ceramic coated and you really want it to be coated so you dont have heat sheilding issues. The cheapest pair that is ceramic coated I found was this:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
I've never heard of the brand before but they seem decent. They also fit the auto. Theyre also a full 500 less then SLP lol always a plus.

RE: Longtube question again
flowtech are real cheap, so cheap its not even worth it. Everyone from the street/strip to pipes, boost and juice will advise against them for their tendency to leak. Everyone around here seems to be running bbk's 1-5/8ths headers which are a pretty good deal ceramic coated. I've got a pair of painted hooker super comps ready to be installed.

RE: Longtube question again
Yea flowtech is realll cheap stuff, stay away. And no BBK LTs will not fit autos, I forget the reason why, but I just know because I did so much research when I did my exhaust. No I don't have an auto, but it came up.
Your other alternative is MAC LTs... they can be had for very cheap, coated, all the goodies... Only problem is some people say they need a little work for perfect fitment, such as drilling the flanges a little. However, the quality of MAC is getting much better and are producing gains very similar to the more expensive headers...
