The prices are scary for sure but the thing that scares me even more is having rusty headers. Thats what makes me want a stainless pair. I dont want my nice shiny headers looking all rusty like my manifolds do now, 
they look like crap.

i have coated pacesetters and they fit great, no problems with the install and they still look good, dont know how long they'll last looking like that. i went with them because of the price and heard good things of the new design, but deep down i wanted hooker's.

You do get what you pay for. I got pacesetters cuz i plan on buying a new car in a year or two and making this drag only and building a new race motor. Im doing the install on these for a friend next week. Sometimes you get lucky and they fit great... other times you use every cuss word you know trying to get them in! Id buy pacesetter again... but if u got the cash go with stainless!
