Default Pacesetter vs. Hooker

Ok, for a n/a WS-6 TA.. which headers do you prefer and why? Pacesetters or Hookers? Both ceramic coated. Don't know which way to go.. looking for both ease of installation and performance my buddy is saying hooker but I see a lot of you have Pacesetter. Tell me what ya think thanks guys

P.S. if you have pictures of undercar installs you have done I'd appreciate you posting them for me to see how the ground clearance is! Thanks

Ive installed both. Facts are as follows.

Hooker 5/16 flange Pacesetter 3/8 flange

Hooker o2 bungs outside Pacesetter o2 bungs inside

Hooker installs easy Pacesetter installs easier

Hooker I think is equal length

Hooker is more money but actually less header, Im mainly referring to the thicker flange of the Pace

They exit in same location and clearanceis about identical.

I have heard that the hookers are more difficult to install and it seems to me that anything less than QTP or Kooks headers and you should just go with pacesetters since they are largely considered the best bang for the buck.

Hooker's here and no problems with install either. Decent header for the price you pay.
