more like you are saying that to yourself b/c i never said anything about going to buy the name .........jethots are not even a big name company anyways and they are cheap and using the same design as hooker with better build and quality in the coating.......so think before you say something

edit: and another thing i have not yet seen one person complain about their jethots

YOU are still missin the point. You try to put down pacesetter just because they are cheaper & refered to them like rice. That makes you an ill-knowleged ***. So before you start talkin bout different parts & puttin down different brands you need to learn how to research the product & manufacturer. Otherwise you sound like a guy with no experience & a big mouth. There are enough guys on here runnin pecesetter with high RWHP cars & they are perfectly happy with their purchase.

And I never said one bad thing about jethot either. So once again read before you open YOUR mouth.

A newb comes on here looking for advice and a fight breaks out over what header is better over the other. Sometimes men can be worse than a bunch of women.

Im gonna saw about the same. They both 1-3/4 tubes. This discussion has been been worn out like a 3 dollar whor and I still dont mind chiming in because I know how it feels to want to hear personal feedback about a decision you are about to make.

This is it for me on this thread and I will leave on this. I have Pacesetters on my car. I have installed Hooker, Jet Hot, and Flowtech. If someone were to offer me a free set of headers from the list above I would take the Jet Hots just for the fact that they cost more and if I ever sold them I could get more money for them. If I had to replace my headers out of my pocket I would buy another set of Pacesetters even if I had a thousand bucks in my pocket.

God damn it, can't type for ****.

I meant to ask how is the quality and flow of ORY compared?

Right now I'm leaning towards PS more since they are cheaper, but you need o2 extensions and cheapest I can get them is $560 shipped, so that would make it $600 or so. I can pick up set of JH LTs and ORY for $750 and don't worry about o2 extensions.

you can get a set of Pacesetter for like $390 shipped from BYUNSPEED on here. No way I would pay $560 for Pacesetter shipped.

I say Pacesetters. At various points, I've had my Pacesetter LT's (painted), which I have now, MAC mid-lengths, and a set of Hookers. Honestly, I'm happy with what I have now. Build quality is untouchable for the price, and while you may lose .5 hp due to sloppy flanges, or whatever you may hear about with there, for under $300, the gain in power is unreal. The only thing comparable price-wise are Flowtechs, which I would not touch. Compared to my other two sets, Pacesetters are at or above that level. Take the extra $100-300 and get some gears, a nice used cam, something that will set your car off. BTW, I have their y-pipe too, and even after hearing stories about fitment problems, I cannot complain. Good luck.

I have installed both headers. The coating on Jet-Hot coated headers is Lifetime and the coating on everyone elses is about 1 year. That is the only difference I know. I am putting the Pacesetters on my own car, the fitment is perfect. I will spend my extra $$ on beer and sit and laugh at the guy who spent more for the same performance.

Performance should be about the same long tube to long tube.

I'm asking about ORY's, not headers themselves...

FYI, my buddy is running JetHots and they work well. He also had to do some trimming in order to keep them from rubbing. I on the other hand went with Pacesetter because they were cheap! Guess what? No fitment issues! Both are good and it's already been said a longtube is a longtube is a longtube............
