Default Pacesetter Headers Worth $399.99 Or Not???

I Have A 2k2 Ws6 And I Am Going To Get Headers. I Want Some Real Truth As To Whether Pacesetter Ceramic Coated Headers Are Worth It. I Found Them Coated At Speed Inc. Near Chicago For $399.99. I Have Looked Around And Ther Is No Better Price For Any Other Headers!!

The Only Other Mod I Have Is A Slp Lid, K&n Air Filter, And Slp Loud Mouth Exhaust, I Absolutely Love The "lm" Way It Sounds.

Get Back To Me On That Asap!

loudmouth with lt's is not the way to go. sounds like a fucked up early 80s pick up truck on its last breath. And Whats With The Funky ******' Font...***** confusin me...


so anyways...about the cost...i think you should take another glance at the sponsers on your right...399.99 better be with next day air shipping...otherwise, 375 for coated pacesetters..---------------------------------------------------------------> keep lookin' the deals are within the magical internet buttons.

watch out for the pacesetter y pipe though...it WILL work, but its going to take some time to get it to fit correctly. two 6 packs will be necessary

I've had the Pacesetter LTs for a year now, the coating is still real good on my weekend driver. The ypipe they had at the time sucked *** though all crimped up and banging like a bitch.

I love my new Pacesetter LT's and ORY. Fit was perfect on the LT's and the Y just needed a little elbow grease to fit perfect. No rubing, scraping, or banging. Great products for the price!

go for it....they were $330 coated when i bought them and everyone warned me they sucked....well they are still bright silver and free of any rust a year later and i picked up .60 seconds in the quarter mile with the pacesetters and y-pipe....BTW: if you convert the loudmouth to a dynomouth, it does not sound like crap with longtubes...trust me...its still insane loud but its MUCH cleaner and less raspy.

Ive installed 2 sets of Pacesetters, and both sets were junk POS's.

You can buy Grotts for 100 bucks more, and a much better longtube....
