You are ready for long tubes my son, you may now proceed.
Pacesetters are a good header choice for someone on a budget, they should give nice gains.

If you order them from LS1 SPEED you will have to wait for the Y PIPE.

well if your budget is that bad....if i am not mistaking i will look it up once again just to be sure and ill post if im incorrect...people tend to complain about the Pacseter Y's however QTP makes a Y-pipe that fits on the pacesetters Jet-Hots....and well QTP LT's...you can get there dual cutout ORY..for 600 but performance will be TOP NOTCH for the exhaust categorty...and when the cutoouts are closed youll have the Flowmaster merge collector...excelent perfromance piece....seems to be better than all other Y's

if you cant go for that...then LT's is the way to go...after that i say get a lil suspension and tires

Agreed. While the $600.00 might be a little steep for someone on a budget of course (that's substantially more than the Pacesetters themselves! LOL) it is a sweet Y pipe.
Even saving some cash and just going with the basic QTP ORY pipe for $310.00 is a good move.

The Mufflex Y-pipe (available at Thunder) looks sweet also.
Nice merge collector. Decent price.

Dunno if it's new.
The segments look similar to the QTP Y-pipe I just got. The Flowmaster Collector is the same that's for sure.

^ Go with it if that's your budget. Nothing wrong with it. Some people have easy installs with Y-pipes, some don't. TSP's Y-pipe should match up to the Pacesetters.

No, it's been around quite a while.
The Mufflex Y will fit no better than the QTP one, they are VERY similar except that QTP is loyal sponsor of this board and should be supported over a non sponsor IMO.
