'flowtech' manufactured by Holley. Was considering purchasing set myself. Accidently came across 'flowtech header review', where a very small number of customers, about 15 to 20, rated them. It was such a small number i would not use to base a decision, but enough to give food for thought. Interesting thought, about 50/50, either they loved, or hated them. May want to run search under 'flowtech headers' and check it out.

You can also go to Holley web site. If recall, they list the spec's and prices for the particular header.

Not sure much help,

good luck.

They are an ok brand, but nothing to praise. What vehicle will these be going on? Have you thought about purchasing headers specifically designed for that application? Block huggers arent the best for daily driver vehicles, due to the fact that all of the heat is pulled closer to the block, resulting in higher operating temperatures. A vehicle specific set should allow for adequate air gap clearance. Block huggers are only popular on street rods and the like that dont get many miles/hours of running times under their belt, or cant find a better solution to their exhaust problem.
