Alright, So I'm looking to change the BBk shorties that I have for some long tubes, I'm really looking for good price and performance. I ran into these two brands on the Summit Racing website, Hedman Headers and Flowtech... so far they are the most reasonable priced I've found.
Any opinons, does anybody have them installed on their cars?
Thanks.

Pacesetter seems to rust FAST...honestly thats all I know. Hedman seems to have a longer history in the Mustang market. Hooker has a better fit from what I understand, and when I get LTs I will get hookers... :o)

The Flowtechs are a pretty good set. 98cobra281 has them on his aero and IIRC he seems to like them. I have BBK LT's that aren't ceramic coated and they have a bit of rust on them after 3+ years. I plan to upgrade them soon. I really like what I hear about the JBA's

Flowtech= junk.

SS headers from Steeda.

Steeda Stainless Long Tube Headers & H-Pipe For Ford Mustang - '96-'04 Ford Mustang
399 is well worth it for stainless steel.

Flowtech does not = junk. They are a very reasonably priced header. Also you do not have to pull them off to yank the transmission out. The fitment of mine were excellent.

I have BBK ceramic coated lt's and love them, Ive had them about 3 years now and aside from the two dents from bottoming out they are perfect. I bought mine from american muscle for around 300$ i think

Edit: i just saw the bbk's are now 540$ at american muscle. I would get pypes, they make good stuff and their headers look not only reasonably priced but good quality.

Flowtech and Hedman are junk and would Not recommend them unless you are on an extreme budget build...

yup i have flowtechs, they fit good, no leaks, all i did was strip the crappy paint that came on them and paint them with VHT header paint, its been over 10 months, and 3300 miles and it has not burned off...

flowtech are a great header for the price

Same here, but its only been about a month but the paint shows no sign of coming off.

Once again, Flowtech headers are not junk. They are a great value and you don't have to take them off to pull the tranny. Try that with BBK's.
