Was looking at some cheap 140$ summit racing flow tech headers for my LT1 cutlass. I used the flowtech shorties but they rub on the passenger side control ARM. Weak. Anyone use the long tubes with any issues? Does the LT1 have a slightly different angle on the header mounting surface? Or should they mate up no issues? Picks are always nice. Thanks in advance!
SBC flowtech longtube headers, anyone use em'?

Flowtech headers are the only headers I have ever used, no issues here. Maybe one day I'll not be such such a tight wad and spend money on a nice set of KOOK's 
I have ran them with no issues at all I would Just suggest spending a little more money and get the ceramic coated ones.
I should have added if you go to advanceautoparts.com and in the shopping cart add promo code P20 and instantly save $50 bucks on these headers part# 31104FLT.
ZZ4cutlass, Are those the shorties on your setup?
I'm a tight wad as well, I like to call it a "budget build". I was going to hit them with some high temp header paint and or wrap. Depending on the price.

Long tube headers. Nothing wrong with that just as long as you spray them with something that will keep them from rusting.thedoctorisin said:
Thanks it came with my engine. Here is a link from summit if you want the same setup. Or if you want to save lots of cash you can steal all the parts from a mid 90's K series truck.jimmyp618 said:

I got longtube Flowtecs on my 400 and no problems here. The only complaint is that they rust VERY quick!!!
I have them on sbc 350 i bouht the coated ones this time hey really look good and seal . Nicely too but spend the extra for the coating as the other guy said the non-coated ones rust fast i had a pair on my iroc z i uesed to have and they were rusting before they left the garage then they dont last long either.
