hooker vs. Pacesetter (LT's ONLY!!)
I have heard great and horrible things about pacesetter long tubes....
I understand they are cheaper but i am getting rid of pacessetter mids because of the fitament problems, spark plug/wire acess, and the fact that the Y pipe sucks ***** as far as leaks.
I have been assured that all these are not problems on the newer LT's but would like real owners opinions on it. I would rather spend the lil bit of extra coin and not run into the same exact problems for the second time w/ headers.
I have never heard anyone said anything negative about hookers and i would like a decent fitting, not super hard install, acceptable plug access, no leak header.... I am in the price range that i can splurge and get hookers but can't really afford kooks(or else that would be the only resolution). Also i am fabricating TD's for the car so Y pipe fitament/leakage is not a matter whatsoever. Thanks for anyones response in advance.

I've got the Hookers and they're a good header. Fitment once you get them into the chassis is good but I had to jack the motor up and all that jazz. That was expected though. I can reach all the plugs up top except for 6 & 8 which I usually tackle through the bottom with starter off (pretty easy from there). Save your money on the ceramic coating (wish I did). It'll just rust off. Stays longer than paint, but not worth it IMHO.

I have the Pacesetter's and they fit good and there are no leaks and I have the emission's headers. I think the driver's side header fits a little too close to the floor area and the y-pipe will hit the floor crease on occasion when you jump on it. I'm real happy with them.
