Feedback please on either header if you actually have used and especially on an automatic. THX

i don't have an auto but i am using pypes and i really like them. if you drop the k member they are incredible easy to install. the only thing bad about them is that they don't leave much clearance for the steering shaft to go through. so you will either have to grind away at the shaft or dimple the header more. or go the expensive route and get another steering shaft.

Sounds good as they can be had for $329. shipped for ther next week or so. Isn't dropping the K-member a bit of work? I have the motor out now. When it is done how about setting the headers in oplace and lowering the motor about 8" above the mounts and attaching the headers and dropping it all in at once, possible? Worth the $329. shipped I suppose. Notice any driveability changes? better response or better low end/topend? THX, Mark

anyone have any experience with pacesetter headers? they're pretty cheap and well I guess metal is metal right?

sweet99

Are you on the same page? I asked in the title about both PYPES and Pacesetters. Both inexpensive LT's that may be enough to do what I need. "Metal is Metal"? Please offer constructive info, whether it be negative or positive, based upon personal expereience please. Thanks, Mark

I'm also curious what the advantages, if there are any to going with an expensive name brand set like kooks, hooker, or SLP

metal is not metal, there will be differences in the quality of the metal used as well as whether or not the header is ceramic coated or not. Different headers hang at different heights and are ultimately like most other parts, you pick two from the following: fast, cheap, quality.

Honestly your best bet is going to be to look into some MAC or BBKs if you are looking for something that is nice but won't break the bank. I have yet to hear anything special about pacesetters, and pypes can be spotty with their products (although I hear about less and less problems, or so it seems).

I would 100% buy pypes over flowtech. Zero fitment issues on my pypes(have heard horror stories about flowtech) and the SS coating on the pypes will last longer than flowtechs.

I have pypes and i have no problems yet

YOU GET BETTER FIT, QUALITY OFCOURSE, AND LIKELY MORE HP/TORQUE. THE QUESTION IS DO YOU HAVE THE $1500. THAT COULD COST WITH THEIR MIDPIPE?
LOOKS LIKE PYPES FOR ME AT $329. DELIVERED. MARK
