Default After burner flowtech hdrs?

Anyone running the after burner flow tech headers with a small block? Do you like them, did they install fairly easy, do they seem to add anything to the performance or is this new after burner technology a bunch of snake oil ? Looking to buy a set for my 79 Camaro.

I haven't used them, but the set I looked at that was on display at the local hi performance store looked strange. They were for a smallblock Chevy, and they use a collector that is a 3 tube collector, and the 4th tube is welded into the side of the collector at an angle, not into the group. I guess that's the "afterburner" part of the name, but very strange looking.

I put them on my 69, to replace my old rusty cheapo headers.
The concept sounded good, and my engine appears to like them.
I went with the ceramic coated ones.

I have them on my 88 Monte SS. They fit pretty well, sound good, and have lasted so far. I don't drive the car too much - maybe 5-7K in the last couple of years. But I like them. On a G-body, the drivers side is a piece of cake to install, however the passenger side needs to be fed up from the bottom due to the clearance of the A-arms and the AC box.

Must be using the velocity from the fourth tube to help push the gasses faster.
