Default Pacesetter question.

Has anyone run their midlength header kit? It supposedly comes with a matching Y pipe, but I have never seen it. If it's that shitty, I'll be going with long tubes, but I've heard (not sure if it's true) that mids are easier on the install end. I know the long tubes will flow better and make more power, but that's not a #1 concern. This car won't be seeing much track use, therefore long tubes might be kindof a waste.

longtubes are just as easy IMO. Why not take advantage of the longtube? otherwise it seems senseless , again IMMHO

no one bothers with mid lengths and for a very good reason... if you go midlength guaranteed sooner or later at some point you're going to regret the decission and go with longtubes or atleast wish you had...

Seriously dude, I have coated Pacesettes with 3" ORY and my dad did XS stainless LTs and Y pipe. Either setup was very inexpensive, and very easy to install. Dont let the engine bay fool you, it really is not that hard to do.

Make sure you get O2 extension harnesses, new OEM metal gaskets, and your good to go.
