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.

I sure as hell am kicking myself for actually not getting my stock MAFS from the previous owner of my car. I forgot it and when I tryed to contact him again I found out he sold it . So yeah im looking for another
I didnt read the whole thread, but definetly go with longtubes

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?

i picked up a gmaf for dirt too, they have a very bad rep on here i think but my personal exp has been good so far...

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...
