From all the y pipes i have built for people using the flowmaster merge that had pacesetter y pipes .... very very little that i noticed but then i hear people talk about it being different.
I never felt a power gain either but im sure there is 1 or 2hp to be had. You wont feel 2hp though

I would think the new merger would be worth a few HP, but not 8-10 unless you're also going with a larger exit into a larger 3.5" to 4" cat-back exhaust. IMO, their new Y-pipe merger is a nice improvement, but it would have to be noticeably better to be comparable to a Vibrant Y-merger to get anything close to 8-10 with no other changes.

Why so expensive??? What's up guys , I have been putting off long tube headers for a couple of years now but it seems to me that they got much , much , much more expensive , I wouldn't say I'm cheap so I only have been looking at Kooks, ARH, and anything made of 304 stainless oh ya and a catted y pipe cause I don't want any check engine light . So my questions are:
1. 1600 bucks , is it a big power gain on a 1998 camaro ss?
2. Can I do something better performance wise for the same money?
3. Should I do shorty headers and a high flow catted y pipe ?
4.why are headers so expensive ?
5. Why are headers so expensive ?
6. I was looking for headers only 3 years ago and don't remembers being this expensive?
7. I've talked to people that have had headers bought and installed for 1500 bucks?
8. Is there a quality stainless header and catted y pipe with ease of install like the expensive headers out there?
Sorry for the long post but I still can't understand why so expensive , should is forget headers and do wheels and tires, a stall converter , etc? Well thx for listening and so far my mods are MTI clear lid, eibach pro kit lowering springs , and GMMG cat back

Well those brands are expensive because they are made of quality material, in the USA. That's what it costs nowadays, but i do feel your pain!
Check the for sale section too, you can get killer deals on 1 3/4 headers now that a lot of people want to go 1 7/8
