Default Advise: Thanks all I went with the 224cam/342gears/3200stall now which lt headers

Hey all:
Thanks again everyone for all the great advise you gave me. I do apperciate it.
I went with the TR224 cam, springs, pushrods, chain, 342 gears with eaton posi and 3200 stall with 2.0 str.
Now I am looking to get the LT headers and y-pipe with cats. I am looking to buy them Monday. So I need to hear what you all think of which is good and at a fair price. I looked to Texas Speed and perfromance and they have the pacesetters and also the macs at a very fair price.
What do you all think?
Also my car is a 02 Z-28 and lowered 1.2" with eibach pro kit. I dont want any clearance issues.
Thanks all once again Ken

My vote for best bang for the buck is the coated Pacesetters, Mine have been on for a year and a half with no problems and they still look great. Thats my vote.

I suggest you get some Hooker headers, buy some cats, and have a custom y-pipe made. Custom y-pipe is the way to go if you're concerned about clearance.

pacesetter and TSP catted Y is the bang for the buck combo. custom like 01 said is a good option too. but i wouldnt rule out the macs; port the primaries and cut the ball flanges off and there just as good as LT's and have more clearance, just dont use there catted Y or if you do get different cats, theres suck..

Headers on long rodded engines with large TDC dwell doesn't require that much arithmetic. This is the main reason that people don’t know what works the best…. Short or long…. Lol… To funny!

Kooks has good headers and there Y-pipe has one of the best ground clearance offered. There is a GP going on right now to.

I have the coated pacesetter's on my lowered z, Front 26" back 27", no issues. I would do like suggested and have a custom Y-pipe built, But add the flowmaster merge two 3" into 3.5" in the Y-pipe (summit for like $35) it help's with the rasp & add's some more hp.

Stainless is the way! I went with stainless works, replacing my hooker lt's as soon as the package arrives.
