headers for maggied v1
hey guys i want to get some headers for the v. i know kooks are the best, but not in the budget for sure. it will be between PACESETTER CERAMIC COATED and OBX STAINLESS STEEL.
both are almost the same price and i know stainless will last longer but...wouldnt the ceramic coated ones keep under hood temps way down, therfore less heat sok for the maggie? does this make sense to anyone else. i know the pacestters are 1-3/4 primaries vs obx 1-7/8, but that shouldnt make a real difference untill the 600rwhp range right?
any thoughts would be appreciated guys

you could always coat the OBX ones too. which runs a couple hunder bucks if i remember correctly.
and yes, coating will keep the steel temp down, and therefor keep you under hood temp down at well.

Pacesetter with flange extensions will bolt up to stock or aftermarket exhaust, OBX will require fabrication. You could always just wrap the OBX's to keep temps down. Just my $.02.

so i guess obx are the ones to get. wrapping them is a good idea as well. doesnt look that good but you cant see the headers on our cars anyways, and i wont be bringing it to any car shows and poping the hood, thats for sure.
i already have the maggie installed and a corsa exhaust and the cats have been removed so i can have a muffler shop just piece in the rest. so as soon as my lt1 parts sell, ill bee oerdering the obx's. i would love to buy kooks but way to exspensive. if anything id rather get the obx and pay $250 and have them coated and have the best of both worlds and still have money left! thanks guys.

Troof.
And OP I can't quote the thread but a guy (another board) did a back to back comparison between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 with all the same mods in the same day blah blah (It was a legit test). Anyhow the difference was minimal between the two...
In other words I wouldn't worry about it.

Here is that thread I was talking about. In the end it comes down to whether the possible future plans are worth the cost of going 7/8 to start with. Personal decision.
