My question is...To get them to my door would be 110.88....

110 Dollars for Ceramic coated long tubes???:scratch: This sound to good to be true? Anyone ever did any business with this company?

Even for FlowTech that price sounds low. I absolutely hate my FlowTechs fit and design. The joints all leak and they will not work with header studs. But since it's a mud truck I see no reason why they won't be perfect.

i like them, they were $239.05 from summitt

1.5" primaries...ouch!

A little smaller than I would like...but for the price....

My cousin has a set of pacesetter with 1.5 on his 60 model f100 and they seem to do aight...

that site rocks.... it is showing a set of shorty headers for my expedition for $105 ..... summit list the same part number for $429


EDIT : just ordered them.... use QPT1S to get $5 off the order..... shipping only cost me $0.50 that way....

I'd go with a stainless header.

From what I've seen, cheap "Ceramic" headers are truly that, cheap, and they do exactly what they aren't suppose to do: Rust.

But since it's a mud truck, you probably won't care :P

I ordered a set of those for my stang at the car-stuff site for the same price. I got a email saying my charge was approved than a couple of days later I got another telling me they were out of stock and a refund was issued.

A few weeks before that I tried to buy a set of flowtechs off ebay and got burned. Had to file a paypal claim to get refunded.

Let us know if you get those but I think it is the same company with a bunch of different domain names making the same mistake. If you look at the ones that have a painted header option you will see the painted ones listed for 300+ so there is no way the ceramic coated are 100.

i thought that too.... i dono we shall see....

[Osceola16]

i chatted with live help tonight.... story as above the headers are out of stock and i was told to check back in 2 weeks to see if they have them in stock but the site still shows them to be in stock...... i'll call the 1-888 number to place my order next time and take names of who i talked to when i place an order when they say they are in stock......

[Dustin]

maybe a database error? web developers aren't perfect, and i'm pretty sure it's [the pricing] an error.

[Osceola16]

will do.... i should recieve some sort of comfirmation today as the money is shown out of my acct. .......

Did you do a paypal withdraw? IF I decided to order a set, thats what Im going to do. So that I can file on them if anything goes south.

[Benjamin]

yes i did it through paypal....

[Osceola16]

Any news?

[Benjamin]

i'm waiting on my refund to come through......
