Default Pacesetter headers

Alright I've decided for sure to get the pacesetter headers. Now I don't want the y-pipe thinking bout getting a custom x-pipe anyone have any opinions on it and will it make a big difference? What kind of gains should I expect from the exhaust hp and tq? my brother was asking me bout ebay headers but I told him I wouldn't mess with them since you don't know the quality or manufacturer. Anyone want to chime in?

I run the Pacesetter Lt's with the Texas Speed and Performance offroad y pipe. I can't tell you about the gains, I'm running it to a turbo. But it fits together well, 3" all the way back.

The pacesetter y-pipe worked fine for me. Just had to do a wee-bit o' the BFH "smoothing" under the drivers seat.

it depends on what kind of sound you want? i had both set up's and IMO id say if you want a raspy loud setup go with a custom made x pipe set up i had one custom made over here at stock height and you vouldnt even see it unless you got under the car youll get more tq from a xpipe setup but it got me in trouble i was running a 3" setup,right not i have a custom y pipe set up and im lowered with a prokit it doesnt scrape at all unless therea someone else with me in the car but i have it to a stock muffler with a 3" ypipe and a 3" e-cutout it sounds great and dont feel no power loss. my .2 cents
