go hookers or jet-hots. jet-hots are cheaper and supposedly better welds and steel. I am very happy with my jet-hots. they be purrdy.

I'm one of the people who actually like my FLPs overall. I do understand no headers are perfect. So I'll give you what I don't like about the FLPs.

1. V-clamp bolts are too short IMO, although I can get them to work.
2. The gaskets and bolts they cam with are carp. I'm sure most headers has those. I bought Fel-Pro gaskets and ARP header bolts.
3. #5 plug is a biotch to get to. But I'm sure most LTs are like that.
4. Pricey but I do undertand it comes as complete as can be. Heck, they even gave me 2 O2 sims and a 12" O2 wire extension.

I went from a 9.4xx to a 8.6xx in the 1/8th with the FLPs so I really can't complain.

Jet-Hot and Hooker are the exact same long tubes...only the Jet-Hot LT's use thicker gauged metal...thats it!

...and Jet-Hot's are cheaper...

Get Jet-Hots. Wish I didn't need to pass emissions at the time I bought mine.
