A lot of people like Pacesetters....look into EDELBROCKS....better than P.Setters, and cheaper by far than SLP.

I was going to install the original SLP LT's this year but I think I'll go with these now.

Try them out and give us a write up on the fit and difficulty of installation.

Most 1 3/4 headers are going to be very very compareable and the benefits of the most expensive over the cheaper, IMO, are miniscule. I had Pacesetters on both cars and the both made great power for the setups and the cars. The first car made 400/380 on a 98 Stalled A4 with a 224/224 .563/.563 112 and 241's w/a pulley and LS6 intake. The new car makes 431/382 with a 238/242 .605/.610 113, extremely well hand ported LS6 heads, no pulley, and the stock LS6 intake all though a stalled A4 with 17x12 wheels in the back. When it comes to LT's, at least 1 3/4, they are all very close.

I don't care how hard they are to install, I mean really you only have to do it once. So fit would be a bigger deal to me.

I think its worth it to save a little more money and get a stainless header.

Tru dat.

I have QTP's, but that's because I got a good deal on them used. Otherwise, the cheaper the better as far as I'm concerned.

Love my pace Lt's 406hp 378tq with my setup!
And they still look brandnew!
Maryland speed has them coated inside and out for 42? and they have a lifetime warranty!
