just go with 1 3/4 race provision headers with a Texas Speed ory pipe. the pacesetter one is junk and hits the floor board pretty bad. the 1 7/8 headers arent necessary unless you're running a big cam (over 230) or supercharger.

Yes.. i'm pretty happy with my pacesetter lt's.. while you're at it, cut the cats all together and order an electric cut-out.. definitely worth it.. quiet as a mouse closed, and loud enough to give ya a chubby open..

Im planning on getting some Pacesetter LT's within the next couple of weeks. They have the LT and ORY package for $500. Now is tht everyting i need? Will tht bolt right on, with no other exhaust modifications?

there is nothing wrong with the Granatelli MAF's, i've run thema nd had no problems, on a mild bolt on car (was all the intake bolt-ons plus a catback) i felt more low-end power after installing one...

as far as headers go, check out the edelbrock stepped headers as well, i am very pleased iwth mine...

Yeah I'm with you man, I also noticed a little more low-end power with only intake and exhaust mods.. I got mine for dirt cheap so who cares.. I still have my ported stocker but I think the granatelli is actually better.

I'll look into the edelbrock's.. About how much do they cost?

as for the edelbrocks, i picked up the race version with the slip on HVMC's with an off road y pipe for 500ish bucks all new.

i believe byunspeed and a couple other sponsors on here have em , check em out.

there not stainless steal but IMHO i think there better than your other options for the cost...
