Pacesetter Warping
I know a lot of people put the Pacesetter headers, but i have heard from numerous people that they warp bad! and they were talkin about pacesetter headers in general....WHAT do you think of them? Are they thin peices of **** that will warp n waste my money??

Had them since March and have no problems. I have a buddy who runs at least 3 passes a week at the track. Have known him for almost a year and he races almost every week. I know that he has had them for 2.5 years with NO problems. Hope this helps.

Ive had pacesetters on my car 3 years (uncoated) and about 25K miles and they appear to be fine and numbers show they still work just as well. just dont look as pretty as stainless

Im gonna say it now, and probably **** a few folks off but oh well.
BUY THE ******* COATING
Im telling you and everyone will agree with me. coating will help prevent RUST, and HEAT
Rust will just crap them out and you'll have to do it alllll over again
Heat can burn up the plug wires and melt ****
Those 2 reasons alone should be enough for you to see why you need to wait, save a while longer and get the ceramic coating.

thats what i was planing on doing bro...i know the advantages of coated headers. there only like $50 more so its no big deal...i was talkin about the fact that i wanted to buy something w/ a little better reputation. but w/ rep comes increase in mullata which i dont have...but COATED pacesetters is the way im gonna go. dont know bout the rest of the exhaust. No cat-back is goin on my car. I'm goin X-pipe true duals. Just need a kinda quiet muffler, cuz that **** gets annoying after awhile.

not trying to hijack, but this has something to do with the topic. Just curious to those who have had the coated pacesetters for a while, what exactly does the coating look like after a year or two or three of use?? Just curious??

Pace Setter coating = prevent rust "my ***". My headers look terrible after 2 years through only 15K miles. The coating flaked off the collector a long time ago, and has been working its way up the pipes. It was my daily driver that saw rain, very little snow. But I was once a college student that used part of my school loan to pay for them.
