i pulled these today from the junkyard off of a formula but i'd like to know who made em... any help would be appreciated. the flange is 1/4 inch and the tubes are 1 1/2x 1 3/8, the collector is 2 1/2 i.d.

flowtechs maybe?

Yep Flowtechs, that funky #6 pipe is a giveaway.

yupper.. flowtechs.. now to get the y pipe.. they are looong and i dont think they will fit on my stock y pipe without modification. probably cheaper to just buy the y pipe.

Those are the cheeeepest of the cheeeeeeep. You will NEVER get those stupid 3-bolt flanges to stay sealed, especially since they're already visibly bent from over-tightening. You will HATE them. I'd suggest not wasting any further money on them.

well good to know, still the first set of headers i've found on an f-body at a scrap yard. guess i'll strip the rust, paint em and sell em. put it towards a nicer set... any suggestions ?...

In order of quality,

Dyno Don

Hooker / Hedman is a tie, IMO

Dougs

Jegs ( repackaged Dougs, I'm prety sure)

actually i think these are the headers

looks like flowtech clones, they come with the EXACT same gaskets and bolts that came off of the ones i got from the junkyard. the y pipe from the junkyard looked all shitty and it was 2 maybe 2 1/4 inch (why i didnt waste my time cutting it out)... still a cheezy brand... if i were to go for a cheezy brand i think i'd go for

they say direct bolt on (i assume that the ones pictured are not the ones that they send) and i really like the y pipe i have and with the money saved i could just jet hot em (won't do me any good if they dont fit though, thats why i havent gotten them yet.... i dont know about them yet because i haven't looked)

^ I'm guessing that goes in order of price too?

Bobby Goff

Yes, relabled improt junk, avoid.


Stick to the names I mentioned, and yes, for the most part they are in order of price as well.

formula forever

make sure you get coated headers. My first set of headmens were non coated and started rusting after 1 month or coat them yourself.

You won't get a spark plug boot on #5 either. Ask me how I know.

Bobby Goff

Get them coated from the maker.

Aresol header paints never last.

just heat wrap them

i have a set of Edelbrock headers which i think are discontinued, and the y pipe, they fit really well and can get to the spark plusg without breaking your arm (no ac or heat atm)

i like the ones i have and the Hooker ones if you cant afford dynodons

Edelbrocks sucked, tiny collector.

Heat Wrap will only hide the rust, and make it worse. Heat wrap on on coated headers will make them rust out very fast, I have seen it.

what did you mean by "coat them yourself" then?... i have plenty of spray equip. and getting a powdercoating system soon... something like that?

Johnny Blaze

iTrader: (15)

I never said coat them yourself.

In my experince the DIY paints never last. If you can spray ceremic coats and can cure themwith heat, go for it.

Bobby Goff

iTrader: (1)

nope. you're right, formulaforever said that... now to find where i get the ceramic coating and find out if the cost of doing it myself would be less than having it done.
