I have pacesetters and my car is lowered about 2''. The headers tuck up really well and the Y pipe will occasionally lightly scrape on steep inclines. I've had them for about 1 1/2 years and maybe scraped the Y pipe 4 or 5 times.

I find its best to save until i can afford something i'll be happy with. Buying something that "gets the job done" can often be disappointing and more expensive in the long run. Some people are very happy with pacesetters.. I think I would be happier with kooks.

To each his own man, I'd rather spend that extra money on a cam, chain, and oil pump.

Not this questions AGAIN!!

The best headers are kooks/qtp. The best bang for you buck that I wish were around when I got my headers are Pacesetter.

Did you happen to notice this sticky up top? Please read the whole thing, especially the part on exhaust and ESPECIALLY the part on headers. Then you can use the search button for awhile.

My Hookers tuck up real nice. If I had to do it again I'd probably get the Pacesetters though. -cheaper.

i feel the same way you do. when i bought my MAC's kooks were not out but hooker,pacesetter,and qtp were. i should have went LT's number one and number two now that i have modded more i nee dto step up to a nice header so i will be going with kooks myself i feel its worth it to spend the money. i think you honestly get what you pay for as in quailty also. just my 2cents
