I had Flowtech headers on my 92 Rustang. They worked great and for a fraction of the cost of other name brand headers. Right now I am looking for headers for my LT1. I have found ceramic Hooker Headers on Summit for $509.95. Check out Summit (www.summitracing.com). They may have more information about them and other options as well.

To all who have posted. If you have visited this sight before and put you car's info. in, everytime you click on the link you are going to get info bases on your car. That is why there seems to be some confusion on the price. I clicked the link and info came up about my car and not the post author's car. Hope this clearifies some questions.

are you sure those would work on a vette? they aren't vette specific. If they would work that would be a GREAT deal

I don't know about the $189 ones, but everytime I click on the link it sends me to a set for $382. They are Vette specific, coated and full lenghth. Still and awesome price compared to eveyone else.

That's CSK (Checkers/Shucks/Kragens) website. Flowtech is also owned by Holley...who also owns Hooker. :thumbs: I may have to go over to Kragen's in the next couple days and check those out.

The $189 headers are not vette spec. They say chevrolet cars. I bet the $382 headers are the ones made for vettes. $382 is still a nice price if the quality is good.

I ordered a set of Flowtech headers for my '86 and after getting the car on the lift and removing the factory stuff, I found that the ones I bought wouldn't fit a Corvette. After checking the part number on the box against the Flowtech website, I found that they did not (at the time, they might now) make headers for the C4. IF they would have fit, it would have been nice because the quality was very good and the finish was beautiful. Maybe if we annoy the hell out of them, they will make some for us :yesnod:
