I have a set of the non-coated version available, only used on my 78 from last June-Sept. If you want them I will make you a very good deal. They are ok and fit well but I prefer Dynomax. If you ordered the ceramic coated version there are problems according to a well known vendor near Kitchener, lots of returns with the coating coming off.

Carguy: I know the the Dynomax seem to be the most populer on this forum. Why do you prefer the Dynomax over the Flowtech?

They just seem to have thicker flanges and more attention to detail during manufacturing. Just my opinion. I do know there has been recent issues with the coated version of FlowTech. I would not hesiate to buy Flowtech if all I wanted was a inexpensive set of basic non-coated headers. I personally like the fit and finish of the Dynomax better and their coated version seem to stand up well....but they are also more money.

I purchased a set of ceramic coated headers fom Summit. After a year and a half they till look good; no peeling. Installation was typical for headers.
