pacsetter -vs jet hot headers
Which headers should I get for my 99 auto ta?
Normal coated pacesetter lts
Jet hot coated Pacesetter lts
Jet hot headers
I have been lurking for a while and have read many good things about the pacesetter lt headers, but one of my lt1 buddies said that the pacesetter high temp coating sucks and flakes off easily. I don't really want to pay the extra for kooks.
In the next 6 months or so I will also be installing a ls6 manifold, true duals (probably), cam, torque convertor, and get a tune. I will also be losing the egr system with the ls6 mainifold so I will get race headers with no egr provisions.
My current mods are:
free ram air
GMS Lid
k&n filter
Flowmaster Cat back (came on car)
HPP3 (came with car)
180 thermo
self ported tb
Any other advice for potential mods...I dont' have unlimited funds but will likely spend about $2500 over the next 6 months and would like to stay away from Nitrous until my tranny and rear end are up to it.

Only opinion I have is on the JetHots.
Just put the JHs on by myself. 01 Firebird so no EGR, but I got it with A.I.R. (non-race). No bending or manipulating of the smog equipment to get it to fit.
Fit like a glove, went on easy, looks good, coating didn't flake despite being handled roughly (dropped a few times, slip across the floor of the garage).
Also installed the cat-optional y-pipe, which was an absolute breeze to put on, line up right, and tuck up nicely with no banging. Clears my BMR tunnel brace by at least an inch and met up with my Hooker catback perfectly.
