Default Which headers????

Anything wrong with pace setter. I know you usually get what you pay for. I found this http://www.stealthperf.com/cgi-bin/s...ml?id=nLwExYw8 and obviously id prefer to pay half of what the slp headers cost if i can get away with it. Im still learning the domestic world so im not too familiar with all of the companies out there. Any advice in picking long tubes would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Ironically, even though the SLPs are priced as a high end long tube header, most will not consider them as such. I would take Pacesetters over SLPs in a millisecond.
Possibly the best headers out there are the QTPs, quality stainless as well as great power making potential.
Also look at Jet Hots for a middle ground alternative.
But to answer your question no, nothing wrong with Pacesetters.

i know people who have different kinds of headers, and this is what i have seen...flowtech and hooker leak horribly, slp are over priced and have clearance problems, pacesetter and kooks are prolly the best i have seeen, although i haven't seen the qtp's yet...just get tsp's y pipe for the pacesetters and you will be fine..the pacesetter y sucks...jmo

Check out the sponsor sale going on for Pacesetters!! For that price, you cannot go wrong!! I've been researching the same question you just asked for a few weeks now, and the consensus is that the Pacesetters are top notch for not being stainless steel. If you do a basic search w/ just the word pacesetter, you'll find all sorts of reviews on them. I think all good.
