Default Pacesetter Long Tube Headers?

Anyone know if they are any good or should i just get the MAC LTs like everyone else? Need some imput. And that doesnt mean "MAC FTW" examples, is there any pros and cons about both or both basically the same? :]

From what i know the pacesetters need flanges welded onto the collectors, do an EGR delete or get the bungs welded into them. My Mac LTs went in very easy and everything bolted up perfectly it took about 3-4hrs.

Since you said it, MAC FTW!!!!!!

For real, just get the mac longtubes and a mac h or x pipe so you know they will mate up correctly/.

nothing wrong with the pacesetters. no need to weld on a flange. that's just another gasket to worry about leaking. slip fit headers are easy to work with. pacesetter quality seems pretty good on the headers. i was never impressed with any MAC product

no rust on my MACs, car passed MA emissions (you need to delete teh EGR on pacesetters or weld in a bung). I like my MACs

MA emissions are pretty strict too.
