Pacesetters have only been on the market for maybe a year (v6 edition) so most people with LTs have macs.

I recommend MAC's. PAcesetter has never been a great brand of header for anything, their coatings suck and don't offer a better coating like MAC does, and you HAVE to delete your EGR system, with MAC you have the option.

Ryan I'm pretty sure that isn't true about the egr. I'm pretty sure I saw it on jegs website for both. I think I posted about this before. Exact same question. The best way to find out is just to call.

i have the pacesetter armor coats on my 3.8m without the egr (deleted the egr with a tuner). fit, finish, and quality are great, and they sound great as well.

what are you talking about?



anyways, i think with pacesetter you HAVE to weld to the mid pipe. i could be wrong. but i liked that MAC had flanges to the h pipe. a lot easier
