Alright i know of a set of short tube headers i can get for 120 pacesetters, but are short tubes even worth the time of day?

the 01-02 cars have better manifolds than the 98-00 cars so you might see 5hp with the shorty headers. If you could get them for 100 i would go for it. They are easy to install because they bolt up in the stock location and they look a heck of alot better than some rusted up manifolds.
