Just go with Pacesetter. Proven header that comes at a good price.

Both headers will essentially have the same fitment and make the same power. IMO I think the Pacesetters are the better deal. More than anything you are probably making the choice between brand preference. Let me know which you decide. We can get you fixed up with either one! Shoot me a PM with any questions!

anyone who is playing the price card is full of it....I paid under $400 for ceramic coated Hooker super comps from Jegs. Plus they came with 02 sims and all the hardware I needed.

I actually got my hookers for cheaper than my friends pacesetters during a sale.

I voted for hookers cause I hate the fact the egr is relocated on the pacesetters, who the hell wants that in the way of the spark plugs? Also on the pacesetters you use bolts and nuts to install the air/egr while on the hookers you just use bolts like from the factory yet again easier to install IMO. Also the hookers come with 02 extensions where as with the pacesetters you have to buy them seperate or splice in the wires they include. Ive installed both and fit was perfect without having to lift the engine, grind the k-member, etc....they both slid right in but I prefer the hookers anyday now.

I just installed pacesetters. They went in very good and fit was perfect. I am very happy with them, and if i were you i would mess with the egr and air system just take it all out and get the race style headers. It cleans up the engine bay quite a bit.

I just installed Pacesetters with the TSP Y and they fit perfect. Very easy to install.

I agree whatever is cheaper if your tight on $. I feel hookers are a slightly better quality overall though.

I have Hooker and love them. The fitment was perfect. It also came with the gaskets, o2 extensions and bolts (even though i reused the stock ones).

Both are good choices, though, for the money. The reason i went with Hooker is because i already had my true duals waiting for a set of longtubes to match it and the previous owner of the TD's ran Hooker super comps.

I also deleted my AIR and EGR with no problems.

ive had both, and they both were good quality headers. but think the pacesetters just tucked up a bit better. cant go wrong with either.

My Hooker long tube headers and ORY lasted 5 years now with no problems.
