Headers
Okay guys. Everyone on here has been great in lending their ideas.
Let me get your guys opinion on some headers. I've been looking at finally getting some LT's for my WS6, but I want tuned length for the low-mid range TQ. The set I'm leaning towards for the price is Flow Tech 1-3/4" ceramic coated Tuned length LT's. Has anyone heard anything about these? I know they're made by Holley which is reputable. I just don't want to spend over 1K on headers, cats, y-pipe. If I get these at $420 I'll end up getting AR Y-pipe w/cats for $550. that puts me right at 1K.
Thanks.

While this is true... I did use the search feature and the only thread that talked about the particular headers I am leaning towards no one left any opinion or insight on them.
Thanks though. I realize I am a newbie and don't know every function of this forum, so thanks again for trying to help

true but alot of them FAIL to answer many questions. Everyone always says
"oh buy Kooks or QTP and your golden"
BUT then they tell you
"oh yeah they're $1000+ and you still need to spend $200+ for y-pipe, O2 extentions, A TUNE, someone to do it if your not sure how, and then a cat back if you havnt already."
im looking to buy right now too. so im looking hard to find a good deal as well. so im listening intensly in this disccusion

dont like posting non sponsor links, but you can find hooker headers which are practically the same as flowtechs for 360 shipped brand new and they come with bolts and O2 extentions. Can't beat that.

Pacesetter, Hooker, Ebay headers will all get the job done and cost a fraction. The downside is that they will rust and some might have fitment issues or hang to low for lowered cars.

I wouldn't get to caught up with the tuned length header idea. It is a good idea, but makes such a small improvement if any on the application you'll be running. Ever see SLP "tuned length" headers? Ill pass.

lol that's true. SLP's are the worst on the market though. they don't really fit well, so they are a hassle to install. plus they lower your ground clearance some 1.5 in. I like the idea of more trq in the low-mid range RPM rather mid-high. The way I see it the 5.7L and hp will take care of the mid-high
