Has anybody gone with Pacesetters long tubes. Stage 3 has a $399 price. How is the fit and how is the tone? Yes I know JBAs and Kooks are the best but for the price what do you guys think?

 

There is no proof what LT are the best , people assume that cause those are the more expensive ones is all....

 

i think there all pretty close to each other as long as the tube sizes are the same

 

Some of the sets come with the cats and everything back to the mufflers (like the Kooks set...which is a reason they cost an arm and a leg). Also materials matter. You don't want them rusting after 30 days in the car. As far as performance goes....they all claim about the same gains.

 

I know people use the obx headers off ebay with no problems... those are like $500 with 2 H pipes..

 

If your doing catless mids anyways, whys it matter? pacesetter is actually a reputable brand too. My roommates bottom 10 sec LS1 has ranem for years, the ceramix finished ones are beautiful if thats what your into, and ive actually installed 2 sets on buddys GTO's with no problems from the header design or construction at all. Im gettin the black painted for mine.

 

Including this guy. I just couldnt justify spending $1200+ for a set of headers. Ive had no problems with them--been on the car for 8 months now. My only complaint was the cheapass clamps that come with the kit. I bought some heavy duty flowmaster clamps from a local muffler shop instead for $12 each

 

i'm just gonna wait and get the Kooks. i figure if i'm gonna do it, i might as well do it right.
