Yeah, I meant for the rears. You do have to plug in the front o2's or you will have big problems.

pacesetters are the worst nightmare header/ory.

spend a few extra dollars you'll kick yourself if you don't.

Pacesetters aren't bad at all if you don't buy the y. Go with true duals and you'll have no regrets.

A joke? I can't quite tell...

No, you would have to make an arrangement with a local shop or a sponsor to get you true duals because pacesetter doesn't sell true duals. But with the money you save by going pacesetter and not buying a ypipe, you should actually come out ahead. Especially if you get dumps before the axle.

there was nothing wrong with my pacesetter y-pipe...it looks and performs good. I think it was the very early production ones that were bad quality.

I installed Hookers a month ago....you don't have to grind anything. Before I installed my Hookers, a lot of these posts had me worried that I was going to be in over my head. It really is rather simple. The only problem is getting the header bolts tightened in the back. A few of them are so tight but keep at it and you will get it. But just remember you have to remove the steering linkage. In reality, it is not a hard install, just time consuming. You will not be disappointed.

I have heard from lots of people to just keep the macs that it isn't worth the money to switch over to a longtube, but I still hear the other side that says the LT's will make more power, but how much is the question.

So does anyone have a graph of macs vs. any longtube given the same heads/cam combo?

Yea Ive heard the difference is only a few hp...very happy w/ mine.
