If you don't mind me asking, what is the general cost of this system. I haven't heard much about these headers.

Thanks,

I got in on the first 25 for $1299.00, after that they would go to $1599.00 I was told. You should check with them to make sure. www.flpexhaust.com

Have you noticed any extra heat in the compartment? Did you consider putting insulation while the exhaust was apart?

Re: FLP Headers made 40 hp (sbkim)

My roommate has a 98 Trans Am with bolt ons. When he added MAC full length headers with new cats he picked up 50rwhp @6200 right before the fuel cutoff. Peak gain was like 25-30rwhp at around 6000 though. We were really impressed.

I haven't notice any differance in regards to heat inside the car. The ceramic coating I believe is suppossed to help keep heat inside the pipe without as much absorpsion and transfer which would radiate into the passanger compartment. I'll know a lot more this summer when it's 103 degrees out. :yesnod:

Re: FLP Headers made 40 hp (GraveDigger)

I will be installing my FLP's this weekend. I called FLP and asked them if I needed to install any heat shield and their response was "no." They are of the opinion that the ceramic coating (inner/outer surfaces) is sufficient. Like all things, time will tell. Will go with their word on the initial install. Will also post before and after dyno numbers.

Re: FLP Headers made 40 hp (rschiltz)

Hey Rick,
Did you get the new car?
If you want to see a set of the FLP headers/exhaust, come by the shop next week. I should have a few sets in stock by then. They are retailing at $1599.95 and come with X-pipes, offroad pipes, and high flow cats!!!
They really are awesome!

I was told they did, but I did not recieve them as well. When I called FLP they said they did not think I would need them, but without the cats I got codes for both bank1 and bank2 catelitic converter error. I was told they would be sent to me, I am awaiting conformation that they have been sent.
