Who has Flowtech headers cheapest for our trucks?

I need to find some 65-76 390 Flowtech headers for my '77 F-150...I've found them in J.C. Whitney for about 120 but does anyone know if someone has them any cheaper, on some stuff JCW tends to be pricy

Those are about the crappiest headers you can buy. I can personally guarantee that they will be warped inside of two years.

Save your money and buy a nice set of Sandersons or Hookers.

I agree with mattsbox. Both sets of Flowtechs I've seen were junk. A buddy of mine bought a set only to have them start leaking a month later. The only way to get them to seal now is to double gasket them and then they still only seal for a few weeks.

Thin flanges/thin tubes=junk

When it comes to headers, you get what you pay for......

I buy parts locally whenever I can. My local parts stores carry several brands of headers and there is no shipping charges or restocking fees or return shipping charges if they don't fit the first time. I have a set of Flowtech headers on my Jeep for 4 months without trouble I hope they last. I would buy something coated or chromed next time. They are too hard to get the paint in all the right places once they are on and putting them on scrapes it off easily because the paint isn't cured by the heat yet.
