Default Hooker headers or Pacesetter?

Been having a look around (and using the search, lol).

I don't seem to hear Hooker headers mentioned much, they seem to be similary priced as the Pacesetters, how do they compare (performance, fitment, clearance).

Cheers

Pacesetter is cheaper but of equal quality. Pacesetter is the best for the dollar. Even with Armor coating which is said to be good up to 2000 degrees. They can still be had for $400 or less shipped. And Pacesetter is said to have the best fitment & easiest install of any headers.

I have Hookers. My buddy just did a Pacesetter install with the TSP y-pipe. I have VERY GOOD ground clearance, he doesn't. He is having to remove his lowering springs and he's going to sell them to me for $50!!!

All things said if I had to do it over again I'd probably get the Pacesetters. (I traded a pistol for the Hookers)

Jet Hots, Hookers, and Pacesetters are basically all the same headers. Just go with what your pockets will allow you to do.

Question on the stainless Hookers, are they really shiny or so so? Do you know if they have a non-emissions version? Thanks.
