Headers?

Looked at some headers, there are some AWESOME prices out there for what look like good quality headers. I was looking at Flowtechs, Pacesetters, and Hooker Headers, all long tubes. What do you guys think about those? Also do you think the SLP tuned long tubes are worth the extra like 400 bux? Thanks

compared to what i read and heard, SLP makes the best headers. Others may be cheaper but to ME ive heard cars with diff. headers and they sound diff then other ones. Maybe its just me but Im going with SLP. Plus you cant beat the quality of SLP and they have been dealing with f-bodys for a decade is what they say.

I have heard the FLP headers will give you the best clearance, and is one of the best for performance and sound. The downside to FLP is they are also one of the most expensive. but hey, if you're loaded and price isnt an option, they are definately worth the money.

I have also heard bad things about SLP's and pavement

FLP ie. Finish Line performance on the other hand apparently has the best clearance

happy with my SLPs.. but they are REAL low. i'm not lowered and they prolly have only 3-4" of clearance.

Thumbs up

FLP's are great headers. They may cost a lot but you get a true and complete kit. Something that every other MFG is missing.
