Mine slid in like butter. Didn't have to remove anything. But on my buddies 00 WS6 I had to remove the steering shaft and shave the cast flashing off the block to get the driver side on...no big deal though.

I originally bought a set of "big name headers' and about 3 months after they were put on they burnt a hole throught themselves on the right bank. I called the manufacturer and was basically told to get bent....*** munchers !!!

Went to coated pacesetters and have been totally pleased. The fit is great, the finish is still like new, and I drove this thing 500 miles a week for a year and a half. They look fine and were a deal. Call Jon or Jason @ TSP and take advantage of that deal.

of course...just my .02

I'm about to buy a set of coated PaceSetters.

PaceSetter QuikTrip Long Tube ARMOR*Coat Headers (Race Version, No EGR & O2 Sensors)
[72C2256]

After reading the sticky I had a question though..

I see people don't care for PaceSetters Y pipes, but TSP makes an excellent compatible Y.

So I'm going to purchase the Y from TSP. I just don't know what the differences are between the ORY and Catted-Y. From what I can tell, it's emmisions and price.

Does one give more horse power than the other? I want to be loud, but not TOO loud. I'm using a LoudMouth II catback exhaust. If using a catted-Y will make my car roar but not shake the interior loose, that's fine. I'm not looking to get 11's at the track.

ORY = O.ff R.oad Y. pipe - Non emissions legal

Catted Y = Y pipe w/ cats.

I have never personally heard a Loud Mouth II. I had a regular loud mouth with stock everything and it was loud. Lt's will definately add to this. Cats will quiet a car down quite a bit but, after you start adding other mods, i.e. cam, etc, etc, they start getting loud.

Then again, loud is truely up to the driver (except in the case of police.) My car, w/ mods in my sig and a Hooker cat back was pretty much on the edge. I had a set of Lane's True Duals put on and it was VICIOUS !! I had to take them off or the city was gonna have heart failure. Now that my car is only for me again, I'm getting Lane to get me another TD setup....time to scare the locals and **** off my neighbors

i agree. w/ the more expensive headers (stainless) you're paying for the higher quality. it would take a LOT to make them rust, and they last forever. hp gains w/ longtubes are basically the same no matter how much you spend. think i'll get the coated pacesetters. can't beat the price.

I installed my coated Flowtechs and ory in about 7 hours without any power tools..ie...air rachet(highly recommend),would have cut my install time in half with power tools.The fit was great,got headers and y-pipe for 490 shipped from summit.
Flowtechs are made by the same company as Hookers.
