Header install help asap I just installed pacesetter longtubes and an Ory. I already have loudmouth 1. I just started it up and it was incredibly loud. I have never heard this setup in person before but omg. There is a lot of engine noise coming from the engine, sounds like a different cam all together. I revved it a few times, and it felt strong and climbed a lot faster. Once or twice it backfired and blue flame shot out the back. It did not feel like it missed at all. I replaced the plugs. Does this sound normal? I mean the engine sounds crazy as hell

from what ive seen, the louder the exahust or better flowing, the louder the engine (within reason). i dont know if it is a rule of thumb, but its just what ive seen.

Yeah, I can vouch for the LOUD *** exhaust! I just installed Pacesetter LT's on my car with a LM1. Today, I got everything welded up and COMPLETELY together. All I can say is....dear GOD!
Havnt exactly decided if I like it or not, yet though. May be a lil much. Even for me, and Im a country boy used to loud *** trucks! LOL

Friend of mine has SLP's LTs and he loves em. Took him under 4 hours to do the install too. I can't wait to hear em with a LoudMouth.

I just saw a pair of kooks with a hole right through the primary where the AIR tube used to be. Real good quality there. 
I have a 5 year old set of uncoated pacesetters that survived a year in upstate NY and they are still perfectly fine. Pacesetters FTW

i doubt its from the quality of the headers.. prolly from somebody who welded a blockoff plate on...
stainless will last forever... way longer then non coated pacesetters...
i have coated Pacesetters and luv um...

hey get those slp and let us know how it goes. lots of people bash them. but i want to see if they make power. i think they hang low, so that way the y pipe doesnt bang the floorboard like the other brands do. plus i think there has to be a reason slp made there headers that way. i think on gmhtp they used slp lt on a gto, and it made like 50 hp!! thats with a dyno chart too..
