Default Edelbrock vs. Pacesetter

So ive been planning on getting a set of coated pacesetters for a while now, but i just saw the edelbrock headers for the ls series motors and they look pretty badass. anybody have any experience with either of them? any info is appreciated

I've had both. The edelbrocks are better. I will be selling mine soon. They fit way better.

i had both as well. currently have Edelbrocks.
price difference isnt much. quality is drastically different between the 2 IMO. the Edelbrock y pipe is also much ...much nicer then Pacesetter!

go with the Edelbrocks.
just over $500 for a coated header and y pipe system. with everything needed

edelbrocks do make more power, have a very nice step design as well as a nice merge collector, just some things to consider

The coating is superior also.

The argument of Edelbrocks vs. Pacesetter is as simple as "Made in the USA" vs. "Made in Mexico."

The Edelbrocks are a much better design, are a much more quality piece and will net you more power 100% of the time.

Ever see a picture of the Edelbrock headers vs. the Pacesetter headers? The Edelbrocks make the Pacesetters look like a toy. Someone made a thread with an Edelbrock header sitting next to a Pacesetter header and the difference blew everyone away. The Pacesetter was so tiny. I'd pull the thread, but the search is acting screwy and pulling me 1,700 pages of threads

I have the Coated Pacesetters and thought the quality was great. I did the install myself and had no problems. They are a nice looking header. I have no experince with the other but I don't think you will be disapointed with the coated Pacesetters.
