Default gonna be gettin some headers in 5 min, quick question

i am about to buy some pacesetter long tubes but was just wondering if i got the race edition would it be netting me extra horsepower over the pacesetters that come with air and egr provisions?

If you don't care about emissions and are removing that stuff then just get the ones without air/egr. Otherwise get the hook ups.

I would say no. The "race edition" just means it doesn't come with the emissions hookups.

If you plan on getting rid of the emissions stuff, go with the race. If not, go with the ones with the provisions. Eliminating the emissions doesn't give you more power, it just unclutters the engine bay a bit.

i hear lots of the emissions fittings breaking off of the headers, so save yourself the trouble from the start and get the "race edition" or whatever stupid name they call it even though it doesnt add any power

You will just have the check engine light on until you get it tuned out. I would go ahead and get the race ones, it doesn't create more HP, but deleting those systems save some weight.
