You get what you pay for, the more expensive the better quality, and performance gains (most of the time...)

Flowtechs are crap. Thin tubes and the ones I had on my 390 hit the oil pan. Had to dent the tube to fit them in.

Someone else on the board here (i can't remember who) bought Mad Dogs for his FE and seemed pretty pleased with them, L&L's are probably the best out there but they don't make headers for the FE.

So no one has tried using the flow techs before? I just got them and it looks like there's no chance in hell these are going to fit. Passenger side looks like the engine mount is in the way. Idk but I'm like 99% sure it's not gonna fit. Are they supposed to exit out the fender well?
