Thanks, but won't this extend the exhaust like 4"+ back? Then the mounting brackets won't line up. Or are these collectors shorter than traditional ones?

Plus 50 or so to weld on the collectors. If they were welded on and did not come with AIR and EGR stuff I would be sold on these at that price for sure.

Ok i see everyone talking about long tube edelbrock headers-well i was going to buy those but everyone told me they would pass smog! So i bought shorty's for 479.00 my question is did i get raped on the price? Or is that about right? N one more question how hard is it to install them into a 1999 ws6 trans am?

I can offer an opinion on the Pacesetter's because I just installed mine tonight. The passenger side, piece of cake. Just raised it staright into the car. The driver side, piece of pie only because I had to take 5 minutes or less to take the steering shaft loose and swing it up out of the way and then that header just popped right in. After they were torqued down they cleared EVERYTHING by a mile. I got big hands (13.5 ring finger) and I could put my hand all around the k member at the collectors. The coating was perfect. They have a nice thick 3/8" flange. At 375 bucks coated they cant be beat IMO.

Check out that link. This is who I bought mine from. For 357.99 plus shipping of 35.00 he will sell them for every application even race style. He has them drop shipped from a big company. Best price you will find on pacesetter.
