Re: quick header ?
wouldn't it be easier to fix or replace the manifold? With new headers, I'm sure your exhaust will have to be modified to work with them.

Re: quick header ?
I`d go with DynoMax before Flowtech.BTW,I have a badly cracked (seperated & dropped) driver-side to replace on my Highlander.It fatigued all the way around where all four collect and above the coupling.I already have Headman Elites.I`ll see how they work with the clutch z-bar.

Re: quick header ?
if those are your only two options, I too would go with the Dynomax.
Even though flowtech is owned by holley (same company that owns hooker) I wouldn't use them. every flowtech product i have seen in person looked crappy (low quality materials, bad welds). Granted i have only looked at a couple low end pair of headers and a muffler, but it was enough to make me steer clear. Not the Gospel, just my $0.02

Re: quick header ?
Not arguing about the DynoMax but I have Flowtechs on my '89 (they were on it) & they look like very well built cheapie headers. Thick flanges & good fit. They havent given me any problems at all...
