It took 9 years to rust thought..how many of you will own your car in nine years.. ..I bought Pacesetters coated...they will probably last longer than nine years here in the sunny south..when they do rust through if I still own this car I'll spend another $379 for another set of coated Pacesetters...I bet there isn't 5 HP difference between any of the LT's no matter who makes them IMHO..

i gained way more power from the cam than i ever would from headers.
headers and y pipe were 500
hmm....paid 700 total for kooks 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 and a Kooks ORY, bought seperately.
the great thing about stainless is you can find them used in great condition as they don't wear out. i wouldn't pay 1400 bucks for headers unless i had a 'vette of some sort.

I'm going to go with Kooks because I haven't heard a single complaint about installing them, very little about them banging, they're stainless and will never rust and, they have THE best catted y clearance. I'm lowered so I need that.
And they sound like war.
This voting has been a landslide, I wonder what he's going to choose?

If I had the money to spend, what would i buy? I bought Pacesetters (coated) because they are cheap and i got the headers plus ory for $525 shipped. This left me about $2500 out of my $3000 buget for TEA heads, a 224 cam, slp lid, subframe connectors. I do not care if they wont be the best looking headers years down the road. I bought them for the fact thay make power comparible to the other headers on the market.

i have very limited income, and purchasing QTP's was hard enough on me that it took me an extra 6 months to get my exhaust done, yet regardless, Im glad i did. Cause hopefully ill never have to take em off!
