Default Pacesetter headers?

So I may be getting LT headers, not 100% yet but what's the deal with pacesetter exhaust? It is really cheap but nobody seems to use it. Is it because they are **** or is it because they are not carried by many sites?

They do not last. They usually rust prematurely, and I've actually seen some dyno'd results showing LESS horsepower over stock, lol

If i'm not mistaken, most LT's do have a loss, especially on the bottom end unless you have a motor that's pulling in/pushing out a lot more air than stock. Just my .02

As far as their stuff, I agree that you get what you pay for

Ok thanks, I know you get what you pay for but I also know in rare cases the cheap stuff works great too, but I guess not in this case haha.
