Pacesetter headers!
Pacesetter headers! Well just wanted to say thanks to TSP for the fast delivery on the Pacesetter headers, i recieved them in 2 days. I also want to say that i really was impressed with the quality of these headers. I Would recommend these to anyone. Now i just hope the install goes smooth. I also wanted everyones opinion on what i should do for a ORY. Should i go with the pacesetter ORY and just modify whatever needs to be or should i do true duals or maybe go with another ORY?

I would be undecided on Y pipes as well, I don't think I'd want true duals right now but I would consider the Mufflex ORY pipe with the Flowmaster merge collector maybe, it is more money than the Pacesetter/Jet Hot/Hooker types but should make more power as well. Tough call.

Verdad Gallardo mufflex's site was not helpful at all, no detials about a y-pipe unless i am blind. As far as QTP I cant see paying $600 for a y-pipe that will bolt up to a pair of $300-$400 headers, but that is just me.

Still not cheap but it has that better merge collector that could free up some noticeable power over the cheapie Pacesetter/Hooker type Y pipes.
I've posted this before but here is my fix for the Pace Setter Y pipe. Still has that crushed drivers side. but at least the collector is free flowing now.

nice work larry, given your experience would you do pacesetter again? Or just have spent a few bucks more and had a perfect header/no custom crap?
I think i would have been better off with some headers that actually fit well like hookers/ory. Just my experience.
Maybe not all pacesetters are alike. Some folks have no problems? QA issues?

1. pacesetter-shitty ypipe, minor clearance issues ie kmemeber, drivers side header to floorpan
2. Kooks-shitty ypipe design with no true collector
3. SLP's-hang to low for some lowered cars and their flanged collectors make for a good snagging tool for speed bumps
4. Hooker & Jethot- shitty ypipe design with no true collector
5. QTP/FLP/PPC- high priced high end headers with the fewest problems but you also pay a pretty penny $1200+ for a cat foward exhaust is a little much for me especially considering i think some of those systems use a 2 1/2in ypipe design if im not mistaken
the only true anwser is to buy LT's of your choice and do a true dual setup IMO

or you can just get the pacesetters and have a custom Y fabed up for the best clearance and use a flowmaster merge collector and your existing catback.

i dont know but the cutout one was listed for $599. I'll look again though, maybe I missed something somewhere.

but now that you mention it, it didnt occur to me they made more then one Y so you might be right.
