Question Pacesetter headers and 3" y-pipe.

What kind of input can yall give me on these headers. Are they a good brand, do they perform well ,and do yall think they are worth $289. Any info is very appreciative.


Thanks,
Chris

Do you feel that you have gained a significant amount of power after the install.

the only mods ive ever really felt SOTP were my supercharger on my truck, the gears in anyone of my previous cars and the 3500 stall TC in this car...so no i didnt feel any gains but if you can feel 15 or so hp the more power to ya...i cant sit here and lie and say oh yah i know they had to add at least 10-20hp it really doesnt work that way...especially when your talking about something that adds more hp on the top end then it does low end tq FWIW

ory likes to smack floorboard, MY version (last batch) likes to smack kmember.

Here's a post I made on my Pace Setter Y pipe collector and the fix. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...101#post965101

I have the crushed fix coming soon too. I have a 1" drop S bend that I plan to install.
