My uncle has a '99 Trans Am, and we're looking into putting some LT headers on his car real soon. I know there are better LT headers out there, but it's going to be between these two because they fit his budget better. I've read a good bit on the coated Pacesetter 1 3/4" LTs, but have seen very little information about the new Ti-Tec coated Edelbrock 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8" LTs. What are the differences between the Ti-Tec coating on the Edelbrocks and the Jet Hot coating on the Pacesetters? I've read that the Ti-Tec coating doesn't hold heat in as well, and of course doesn't look as good as the Jet Hot coated LTs, but are there any other bad things that I should know about the Edelbrocks?

You dont want the stepped ones. I would stick with the proven power of the Pacesetters. Not saying anything bad about the Edelbrocks at the same time either.
Plus the P-setters look good.

the edlebrocks do have a 3.5" collector. i have seen a set of these and they put my pacesetters to shame. i like my pacesetters and have had good luck with them, but the edelbrocks are a much better quality header for not much more $$$. when i am through with my pacesetters, i am gonna go with the edelbrocks.

Yeah, it's the Edelbrocks with the 3.5" collectors. I wasn't aware that Edelbrock offered these in just 1 3/4". The only ones listed in my SDPC catalog are the 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8". Which really doesn't bother me because we're going to be doing heads/cam a little later. I know that the Pacesetters have been proven performers, just tryin to get some ideas about these Edelbrocks since they're close to the same price.

cost per hp pacesetter wins.

Thats a negative boss. You have any first hand experience with this?

A stepped header such as the E-brocks will make more power over the Pacesetters on any given day, EVEN on a stock internal application. Car Craft tested it!

Don't know much from experience on the E-brocks but I had a set of Pacesetters on my 98 and the looked and performed very well.

I have seen both. I have the Edelbrocks and will be installing them on the new engine.

I would go Edelbrock.

I agree.

Sounds like the quality is definately up to par with the Edelbrocks, which was my main concern. I'm gonna try out the Edelbrocks. Thanks for everybody's input on this.

Edelbrocks are supposed to have a better ypipe.

z28viperkiller

i agree in any case that a stepped header will work better. (In my opinion) I didn't know or consider the edebrock piece, what was I thinking? I don't know the price. If price is consideration and the number is close, I would def consider the edelbrock piece. plus..... anything is better than the pacesetter Y-pipe, its horrible, at least the one i recieved, is horrible.

Try PMing the guy at Outlaw motorsports he quoted me at what seemd like a great price for the Edelbrock headers with a Y pipe shipped. I will be buying within the next month.

I'm looking at the same two and was wondering -- does Edelbrock have emission hook-ups and a catted Y Pipe?

If they don't have a one, what catted y-pipe will fit the Edelbrocks?

Just tried searching for the welded Edelbrocks... anyone have that part number???

Off-topic, but haven't we all heard some nut refer to it as Elderbrock?

Check the car domain link in my sig. Pics of the edelbrock LT's installed on my 02 SS. My car is making 400rwhp with bolt-ons and cam. My vote is for the Edelbrock's!
