Smile Headers

What long tube headers would guys/gals suggest? I have a 99 T/A with the
M6 and i wnat something reliable that wont crack or blow out gaskets. I will be at the strip a few times a month but other then that its a daily driver. Ive been looking at the pacesetters but i figured i would get some input before i decided.

Thanks

I just installed my LPP stainless headers last night. So far I love them. They look good and clear great. I had to notch the K memeber a tad but that happens with about every brand of header. So far alot of good reviews on the LPP's that is why I went with them. Stainless headers just a little more expensive then pacesetter's. But there is about a million people on here with pacesetters.

Do alot of reading (searching). Alot just depends on how much you want to spend. Then if you want stainless or not. I went with ARH and their catted Y. There is no notching out the K member or anything else. My hawk is a m6 and also my D/D. I went for stainless and a header that you don't have to cut and grind to put them on.

Went with LPP's. 6 months later, they sound awesome, have great clearance, were an easy install and were a great price. Great product, quality and price. Can't beat that!

Who is LPP? im not familiar with them. Do you all have the cats on the Y pipe or did you do a rear O2 sensor delete?

I'm happy with my coated pacesetters. I put them on last august along with poly motor mounts and didnt have to notch the K member at all. The finish still looks as good as when I put them on. The reason I went with the pacesetter is that they tuck up really nice and I am lowered. I also decided that the money I saved on headers could be applied elsewhere since they made good gains.

Do you have problems with them sealing or the bolts backing out?

I run Dynatech Supermaxx longtubes, excellent fit and ground clearance and very good quality. I would recommend them to anyone.

I went from pacesetter to ARH. The ARH went in their hole in 10 min both sides the pacesetters were a bitch. ARH hands down, change your motor mounts while you are doing the headers.

Seems to me my work here is done already. Seriously though I think our product speaks for itself as well as our customer service after the purchase. there are alot of good systems out there and I'm sure you will be happy with whatever system you purchase. I just think ours are the best quality and fitment available. If I can help you guys in any way shoot me a PM for the fastest respomse

I would love to use the ARH headers but honestly i cant afford them. If someone had a good set for a good price then maybe.

I didnt have to make any modifications to my car to get my LPP's to go in. They slid right in and i havnt had a problem since. They are stainless and they are only 500. I wouldnt have gone any other day, even if i had unlimited money i still would have gone with them

My buddy has pacesetters on his TA and they look/sound awesome a year and half later. I am gonna do headers and Y on my '00 SS soon. Ceramic pacesetters from texas speed seem like a pretty good deal. Are they a pretty good outfit? Also, what kinda power can I expect from headers/catted y and SLP catback and an SLP lid? Thanks guys!
