Kooks, SLP, BBK, Flowtech/Hooker

in that order, you get what you pay for. Kooks are going for $860, SLP $720, BBK $499, and flowtech/hooker is a bit cheaper.

I definately wouldn't have put hooker at the bottom of the barrel with flowtech, though both are owned by same company quality is a hell of alot better on the hooker headers

I have some MAC ceramic LT's, found a great deal on them. I'm happy with them, except that the shop has put 3 gaskets in the passenger side and it still sounds like it has a leak, mostly when in 5th gear.

I would not be happy with that As hard as it is to install gaskets you want to do it one time Sorry to here that.

I love the sound. The LT's made a noticeable SOTP gain. Maybe I got a bad set or something, but I've had 2 shops do the gaskets and they still sound like they leak and I've had at least 4 shops try to fix the cat-back from hitting. They bend this or weld that. Still hits frame, or something, around right corners and the back clunks when going over bumps. Maybe all the shops in florida suck, good possibility of that, or maybe Mac sucks, also good possibility. Sound is good, power is good, but if you don't like driving your stang because it sounds like a rickety clunky POS then that sucks. I'm seriously considering switching set-ups, as expensive as that would be.
My advice is still, buy quality. Some people complain about Mac, others say no problems here. But when has somebody said, my SLP LT's suck. Just doesn't happen.

Mabye the shop did something wrong, ive never seen a problem like that before with MAC products Im happy with mine, although I would have rather had BBK or Hooker.

i never said anything negative about hooker or flowtech. i simply listed them in order of cost, and didnt know the difference between the two. i know hooker and flowtech are both owned by the same company (holley?). i have no experience with either hooker or flowtech, so i cant say anything positive or negative about either.
