Should i use the bolts they sent me for the headers? Dont remember what brand of headers they were but some people said not to use those because they suck? So, how about the pacestter ones?

Have you had to tighten them or anything? Did you use the pacesetter gaskets as well?

i had to tighten some i didnt get real tight the first day when i put the headers in. just checked today actually and they were all tight. its been about 3 weeks now. i reused the stock gaskets there was nothing wrong with them and i was told i will have problems if i dont use them.

I did the samething.. On your pacesetters, what bolts did you use for the EGR and the other 2 hoses that bolt onto the headers? Because on the stock ones they just bolt in because the stock ones are threaded. But, on the LT's its just a freakin hole so you cant reuse the stock bolts the just slide in. What did you do? Go to the hardware store and buy nuts and bolts?

well my egr tube came with nuts and bolts for it. i think it came with some for the others if not u have to get a grade 8 bolt or something with an 8, its made for exhaust. u can go to napa or a hardware store for these

That sucks.. They could have at least threaded and made the holes the same size!!! Well, i got both headers installed and tightened down. Was going to put the plugs in but i dont have a plug gapper. Is that real important?

If you have NGK plugs they should be pre gapped so you shouldn't have to worry. I checked mine all before hand and they were all correct except one or two were off by a little bit.

YES CHECK THE GAP!!! i checked mine and they were from .052-.067 when i got them WAY off. i gaped them all at .052 and it runs great. trust me make sure its right before it goes in cause u dont wanna have to redo it lol

Guess ill wait till tomorrow and go buy one and do it the "right" way..

WS6FirebirdTA00

iTrader: (33)

chances are they could be fine but like i said once they are in there u dont wanna take em back out until its time for new ones lol. u can grab a gap tool for like $0.50 and its worth it if u can save time haha

My NGK's were around .062. Definetly check them before you install them.

I am going to use the Stage 8 locking header bolts. Ive been told they are the best to keep from loosening.

I just rechecked mine today. All were good and tight. I hope you like your Pacesetters, I love mine

Kinda pissed.. Got everything on, i mean everything except for the EGR & the air hook up on the passenger side header.. Well, **** wasnt lineing up..So, I Call TSP (where i bought them from) and told them the scenerio and they said its the wrong header.. YEA, i was pissed.. They are talking with pacesetter to see if there is some kind of alternative besides taking that header all the way back off and the ORY-Pipe... Hell, im gonna try to get a TC out of tsp for all the bull **** i have to go thrue now and it was their screw up!! If it would have been at a shop they would have charged me double!! Right?
