Edelbrock or Pacesetter?

Wow... that's great news... I like everything about the Edelbrocks except for the fact that you had to essentially put them together, which was pushing me towards the pacesetters.
But now if we can get the stepped header with this ti-tech coating with O2s welded in, I just might wait and see what happens.
Any time frame before this becomes a reality?

I am not sold on their ypipe. It seems kind of pointless to go from a 3.5" collector necked down to the 3" ypipe out a 3" catback.

Do you think the coated Edelbrocks will be less then the coated Hookers? I am also really considering the new headers with the new coating they are talking about!

I personally could not be a bit happier with my pacesetters and am willing to sacrifice 5 HP for great looks for a while instead of rust after a little while.

They are not stainless. I own them. They do come with everything you'd "need": O2 extensions,Gaskets,Bolts,etc.
They require welding
They work fantastic on my car
They would not be best for a mild setup due to the size of the primaries and collectors
The Y tucks up tighter than stock on my car. I gained clearance with their 3" Y...
They sound great in my opinion and were fairly easy to install.
I used ARP header studs.

I didn't asked an exact date.. but they should be on the street soon.
