I ran the Mac headers way back in the day on my '98 Trans Am. Back then, the only headers we had to choose from was either the Mac mid-lengths or Hooker shorties! The Macs do make some great power, but the quality can sometimes be an issue. It seems to be hit or miss. The biggest complaint we've had about the Mac headers is the ball flange where the y-pipe connects to the header. The LS1 "old timers" will remember the days of porting the ball flanges.

The PaceSetter headers are VERY hard to beat for the money! We were very impressed when they first sent us a header to look at. Have they had their fare share of fitment issues? yes However, they have been revising the design each production run to make their headers a little better. Most are skeptical of the PaceSetters because of the price. Who wouldn't be?! The price is revolutionary for the LS1 long tube market, so it's only normal to be skeptical. We put a set on our TSP Project Z to prove that they work well. We want to run the parts that we sell to our customers! We also picked up 23 RWHP on a '01 Z28 M6 with stock internals and no tuning. This was with their long tubes and ORP.

I think the PaceSetters can't be beat for their price. There are VERY few headers out for the LS1 that have not had some sort of fitment issues at one time or another. I personally would not think twice about ordering a set.

Let us know if any of you have questions.

Thanks!

Trevor

MAC's = garbage ... I had them on my car for almost a year and they produced almost 0 extra hp.... what a waste.

TSP has some good stuff, so I would assume nothing less of their headers. The bang for the buck is definately there, and I'm pretty sure the HUGE savings is well worth a couple minutes worth of custom fitting / grinding.

Through the end of November, we are including a free set of O2 extensions and a free TSP t-shirt with the purchase of a set of PaceSetter headers. It's not a GP; it's a sale. Every order received by November 30th will automatically get the free set of O2 extensions and TSP t-shirt. Sixty-two sets of PaceSetter LS1 long tubes left last Friday coming towards us, so we should be able to start shipping headers out by this Friday.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Trevor

My MACs worked great.
