Flow Tech Headers?

[fiveohlover]

i need some headers before i buy my H/C/I and i was on summit and saw these ceramic flow techs headers
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BIG-32104FLT/s.

how do they compare to the bbk for $319
how hard are they to install and should they make more power than the bbk because of the 3in collecters?

Flowtech is not the best quality...

The BBK 1516 is a chrome header, fit is decent but the chrome will come off and turn bluw. If you want a ceramic is is PT#15160. I am running a sale on all BBK products if you decide you want something, I can beat Summits Price

will they work, and make more power than the bbk?

The issue is fitment....I have no dyno tests to show any difference in power but I have thrown Flowtech shorties in the scrap pile at my shop

I have a set of Flowtech's and I got them from Summit. They are a definitely a budget header. However, fitment was not an issue, the flange is okay, mine bolted up fine. I did have to clean up them up around the gasket mating area, a lot of slag. I took a dremel to them and smoothed them up quite a bit. What I hate about them is the cheap coating, but I knew that when I bought them. They work, they're cheap and get the job done, definitely a get what you pay for item. They will be coming off and replaced with a stainless set. Now with that said, I have their h-pipe and I have zero complaints with it.

I'm putting this one in the vault for future use when it's time to upgrade my stock shorties.
