believe you are mistaken the Jet Hots have a 3/8" flange and 16 gauge steel that is the same for the Pacesetters the Hookers are 5/16" flange and 18 gauge steel. I prefer the Jet Hots over the Pacesetters IMO just a little better fit on everything I have installed lots of both. But the Pacesetters are cheaper. Good luck!
I've had the Jet Hots on since early 03 and they have held up very well. Install was a breeze on 24" jackstands. They slid right in without notching or cutting. Just remove a few heatshields, oil filter and plate along with the steering shaft.

Jet hots here, real good header. I had to grind a tiny bit of the K member on drivers side, otherwise great fitment. Coating is doing real well too.
I should point out that I am probably going to QTP though. I just want to give the high velocity setup a try. Plus I got a great deal on a used qtp y pipe, so might as well get the headers to match.

Sounds like the Jet Hotts are the best. I live in Ohio, so it is possible for my car o see salt, very rare since the car isn't driven in snow, but you occasionaly get caught in it. Does the Jet Hot stand up to salt? Also, what Y pipe DOES NOT BANG?

ive had my jet hots for a year and 2 months now. on my car some clearencing was done on the drivers side and still banged a bit.no more banging now because it banged its self engough to stop.also i got rid of the y pipe and went with td's, that might have helped. i just went under the car yesterday and noticed the coating is getting rusty spots now and near the o2 sensor bung on the passenger-side it is rusting out. looked like it leaks i saw some carbon build up as well.
