Anyone use Flowtech headers?
Well...Doing the Vortec conversionI was planning to use the factory exhaust manifolds. Yeah yeah...I know. Part of my perfect plan would have been to put headers on later after I had grown accustomed to the new power. I would then have a relatively easy upgrade a couple years from now. However my perfect plan was foiled when the manifolds would not fit, the valve covers interfered.
So now we have a setback, and wth Christmas just around the corner I may not be driving it for a few more weeks.
I could have taken a grinder to the valve covers...No. I could have taken a grinder to the manifolds...Too ugly. So I bought a set of Flowtech headers, ceramic. The price was right, 300 from Summit. Should be here in a few days. Does anyone else have these? Any reviews?

I just put a set on my 76 and they fit good and I don't have any leaks. I got them on sale from Summit for $285. I haven't had it out on the road yet though but I don't foresee any problems. I have read good things about them but like any reviews, there will be someone who doesn't like them for some reason or other.

I have them on my 72 and no complaints. Usually you can expect headers to need filing and hammer denting to get the bolts to clear but not with these . They fit perfect and sealed great with no alterations .
