I was considering flowtechs when I was shopping for headers, and I was told by some reputable people on here that you get what you pay for. So I went with ceramic MAC lt's and I couldnt be happier. I think either MAC or BBK are gonna be your best choices for bang for your buck headers..

I would stay away from the flowtechs if you have the money for something better.
