header help i can't decided on wat type of headers to put on my Z-28. i hear alot about hooker and kooks. but there's also pacesetters or sumthng like that. i mean im tryin to make my car run and sound better. but also dont wanna empty the bank. im a college guy. any suggestions. i would like details to if you have them on ur cars.
Go with the coated pacesetter, or hooker if you dont want to brake the bank. I have kook's and love them but they were not cheap. What ever you do get the ceramic coated unless you like the look of rust.
I like my Pacesetters the sound good and they have good clearance. They are also cheap and come with a Y pipe. Ceramic coat looks good for awhile but in time they look like ****. Stainless steel is the way to go but its whatever you want.
i would say pacesetters or ebay headers for a college student. you also need to factor in other expenses too. off the top of my head
y-pipe
cats
02 extensions
02 sims
optional but recommended things to consider:
new spark plugs and wires
poly motor mounts

I have hookers and like them so far. I did have to remove the steering shaft to get them in. Passenger side slid in w/o a problem. I used a catted Y to quiet it down a little bit..not sure if it worked or not though, lol.

Yeah man, pace setter or hooker for budget. Any of the above mentioned are great. The only ones I think everyone would steer clear from is the pacesetter painted headers. I mean, its basically bare metal.
I payed exactly $798 for Coated Pacesetter Headers/ Texas Speed Y-pipe/ O2 plug and play extensions/ spark plugs/ all accessories to install, and tax/shipping. I'm not sure what anyone is saying about the ceramic coating looking bad after a long time. My headers look incredible, almost like chrome

Im sorry let me say I dont know if all ceramic coated headers look bad over time but my friend has ceramic coated slp's and they look horrible 2 years old and I saw another guy with ceramic coated pacesetters and they looked pretty rough as well. I guess it all depends where you live and how much you drive it in the Rain/snow. But I would take them over painted anyday.

i have pacesetter's and tsp ory. love this setup and good ground clearance. i also got poly motor mounts for my install. if you dont have emissions like me then get the pacesetter 'race' headers and an off-road ypipe (no cats)
