Flowtechs seem like a pretty good deal as long as the quality is good.

They are inexpensive, and let the tranny slide out. Pretty good right there.

Flowtech. Hookers and kooks(if I recall) also allow the trans to come out. I havent had any issues with the LT's yet.

Thanks for the reply.
I heard some good things about Hookers and Kooks.
The only issues I see people complaining after their L/T install
is oil consumption and their exhaust note gets louder of course.

loved my long tubes on my 99 cobra, but when the trans went out, what a huge pain that was. ford dealership charged me almost $800 in labor to fix the trans under warrenty, just cause the long tubes added to the work they had to do.

For me, shorties is a waste. The install is the same and you get 3-5 rwhp where as LT's have a 20 rwhp gain throughout the powerband. Muchg more noticable and worth it.

Not sure about you guys.
