how much power really is a QTP, ARH, Kooks really gonna make over pacesetters or hookers? i had the money to get kooks or QTP and i opted to go with the pacesetters...and by doing that i was able to get an slp lid, magnaflow catback as well.

some people are claiming ~5hp going from pacesetter to the arh,kooks, but i have yet to see a graph proving that

It's not the improved performance that is worth paying for it is the quality. Even a coated mild steel header (like the pacesetters or hookers), will rust and rot over time. Where as the stainless steel header will be the last header you ever buy...

I have the Koni 4/4 on mine too and it is a great investment as well. I looked at the pic that Sicko put on his of the LPP and here is one that I found of ARH. I know it doesnt make a difference but the ARH looks more solid to me. Even the Y-pipe construction looks better.

Clearly the person who took that pic has no taste, just look at those Bose speakers!

Either way I'd like to hear them. Yeah I know the muffler makes a big difference but you can still tell a difference.

Well since you did already I might as well... lol

OP We installed 1 7/8" ARH on a friends car(JCCamaro on here) and not only are they ******' awesome, but were by far the easiest LT header to install on these cars I have ever seen or heard about.

I'm running Bassani over-axle 2.5" TDs... and dammit I'll still be finding the time/money to fab it up to these headers(and cats) because I'm that impressed with them. So you have no excuse.

I should be gettin mine by end of Feb

Right. $1,200 vs $550... I can take that extra money and get a custom grind.

You get what you pay for Plus I know for a fact those Koni 4/4 aren't cheap either. Funny the logic there. Im not here to step on any toes. Go with what you want seeing how it is your car. Id rather go with a name that has been around and proven - even if I have to pony up more money.
