edelbrock headers?
edelbrock headers? anybody seen or heard any good news about these? Especially the 1.75 x 1.875 stepped race ones. And what the hell is ti-tech? Seems their ceramic coated stuff is more expensive.
got any pics? i had pacesetters on my last car and am really contemplating getting them again or getting these. For some reason i want the edelbrock stainless y-pipe though, maybe i'm crazy.
i dont have any pics currently, i know there was a couple threads on here with pics. Honestly pacesetter are good budget header, but their quality has nothing on these edelbrock headers. Edelbrock headers also come with new gaskets, header bolts, and 02 extensions. Not to mention the pacesetter y pipe is garbage compared to the edelbrock piece.

Agreed. I'm running them too, but with a td setup so i dont know about the y-pipe. The Ti-tech coating is good, but not totally rust proof.
I like the look of the edelbrocks, only thing worries me at this point is the coating. I had pacesetters for close to 4 years and the bottoms got kinda "rust colored" but never got around to rusting, the top still looked almost new from inside the engine bay. And i live in the middle of the east coast so since this is my z28 was my daily driver it had to go through salt plenty of times.
I really do like the edelbrocks though. I'm hoping somebody can convince me to seal the deal lol.
I also wonder how low they hang with the HVMC and 3.5" y-pipe though. That might be whats holding me back.
Today is the last day i run the Y pipe setup, fabbing some duals up tonight. What do u run for duals, i have a pair of full size Dynomax ultraflos im trying to make room for right now.

Yeah i was gonna go with the tsp y-pipe this time around. And you cant beat the price, but ever since putting the pacesetters on i had wondered if i should have gotten better ones.

Its in my sig below. The kit is part # 15933 and I'm running the 1-chambers. Has a killer sound to it!
hmm, i'm kinda torn. I see the stainless ones arent that expensive compared to kooks or QTPs. I dont really know. The ti-tech is a real turn-off i guess. I'm gonna have to sit on this one for a while i guess.
I actually have a flowmaster merge in my backyard. Its welded to a 3" stock replacement y-pipe. I tried going that route last time i got headers and it apparently is just too much trouble for the welders i've talked to in this area.
