They are the same ones as Hookers. They both are made by the same company. Hookers will have better quality. However, I have had zero issues with my LT's.I thought the flowtechs werent that great since they were a 2 piece design

Get bassani mid leagth headers! I have them with steeda sport springs and I dont scrape. Best headers out there in my book.
X2. i have bassani mid length's and a O/R X pipe. I only scrape my intercooler. Supposedly there wasnt that big of a diff b/w bassani and LT headers and your supposed to be able to change the clutch w/o removing the headers

The 2piece design isn't that big of a deal (they will leak at the slip fit though lol
) but they are pretty cheap and crappy. I have a set of the ceramic ones and I had to cut the flanges and reweld them to be even somewhat flush and make a seal with the head (even with percy's gaskets). IMO BBK's are a waaaay better value than the Flowtechs.Also those part numbers the summit tech guy posted are for 4v headers, thems wont fit no 2v

Flowtechs are hit or miss. I haven't had a single issue but some have. I also know others that haven't had an issue.
The OP has a Mach 1 not a 2V

Okay, so here's what I got so far, Im torn between 2 differnt ones.....
I got the ceramic coated Mac LT's with catless X at $633.....
or.........
The bassani midlegths at $644 w/ no xpipe....
Would I need a different Xpipe if I went with the bassani's? Because I already have a Pypes catless Xpipe on there now.
Opinions plz!

Yes, I just did this and it was a pain in the arse. I ended up lifting the engine up a few inches to get to the header bolts. I've seen others say they got it out by twisting and turning it, but I just did not see anyway, at least on up on jack stands. Maybe different if you have it up on a lift and have someone helping you.

Yes, you'll need a different (shorty) x pipe with either the LT's or the bassani mids. You can try modifying your current x pipe (cutting it) but its prolly a lot easier just to sell the one you have and buy a new shorty x pipe. I got the x pipe that is made for the bassani mids, and i'm sure Mac makes one too that hooks right up to their LT's.
