    I have the Flowtech's on mine also. I have never had a problem since I installed them 3 years ago. The price of $100 was what sold me on them. Just remember, if you have power steering get the drop down bracket ($17).....

    I usually heat my headers up in the oven first then paint them with hig temp paint while they are still hot and the paint stays and looks good years down the line.

    did this person ever get his headers??? I was just wondering because it seems like everyone ignored the fact that he wanted to keep the column shift. I have never heard of a set of headers that work (fitment) on column shift Maverick.

    I started this post and have been using hooker 6901 successfully with column shift and no other adjustments. Just ahd to have shift linkage modified. The only problem is scraping over speed bumps. Regular driving is ok.
