the pacesetter headers i bought are for 99-04 chevy trucks. i cut off the egr provision and welded a plug on the passenger side header. you can see the headers on my fquick video i think.

well,
I got the s&p headers in on monday, pass. side fits fine, drivers side "ends" right behind the tranny. I started trimming some of that "ear"? but the header is actually touching the block, so I called s&p, let them know it won't work, would have to cut way too much, anyway, they said to send them pics, which I did tonight, so tomorrow I'll find out if they can make a new set to where the end that bolts to collector can be moved towards the frame about an inch, if they can do that, I think I can make it work with just a little more grinding off the ear.

sorry for lack of updates...
The new "updated" s&p headers arrived today, I left the previous pass. side on, it fit fine.
Put on the new driver's side, w00t, fits great! I'm stoked, can finally get the beast running this week, I hope.
will get some pics this week if I have time...work is already killing me this week.
More to come.

ya it does!
Got John from xXx to come do his thing on the pcm to get her running. Going to take it down there for a dyno tune as soon as I get my posi/gears and a few miles on her.
Had my exhaust guy come pick it up today, so hopefully tomorrow I can actually drive it home!
