Default Pacetter LTs vs BBK LTs

I have uncoated pacetters on my car right now. The car is merly a budget build put together over the past few years. It's a heads cam intake car. Would it be worth it to switch to coated BBK LTs and y pipe or stick with the pacetter ones. im going to install the flow master merge if I keep the pacetter stuff. Have a decent deal if a wanted the BBKs. Thx
Don't want to loose power to just have coated headers. Heard the ball flanges don't flow as good. Let me know your thoughts guys.

The Pacesetters along with the FM merge might actually flow a tad better than the BBK

BBK y-pipe is 2.5". Stick with PaceSetter and build a flowmaster y-pipe.

I have the BBK setup on mine.. the headers are nice but the y pipe sucks.. also the fact that the headers have flanges on them limits options on Y-pipes..

I may switch it out for Speed Engineering headers and a true dual system

I have the BBK LTS on mine now and they are great as far as installation goes, really good quality but I can see why everyone complains about the ball flange they come with.
