L o n g t u b e s . . . Wondering what the general consensus on the JetHot LTs is. I would love some Kooks, but they are so dang expensive, and QTP's are pretty pricey themselves. Any thoughts are appreciated...
i myself would just get a pair of hookers or pacesetters, they work good and you will have some extra cash left over for the clutch 
that's my input. ( but take my advice with a grain of salt, i'm a cheap bastard )

Haha. My only concern with the pacesetters is that I know that about 1/4 of them make the y-pipe bang underneath, and then some people have problems with the coating wearing off. I know they are great for the money, but I don't know if I want to deal with those issues.
The pacesetters are just as good as the jet hots, if not better. One nice thing the pacesetters have on the jethots, is a thicker flange. The extra money you spend on the jet hots won't buy you a better header. I saved some money and bought the pacesetters.

I used to have the Pacesetters and now I have the Jethots. In my mind there is not even a question. Get the Jet Hots!! I had a hell of a time with the pacesetters, they didnt fit right, the ypipe banged on the car. Save yourself the trouble, spend a little bit more and do the jet hots!!
so the jet hots fit good, you dont have to cut or notch anythng?
i was thinking about getting rims but whats the point of looking good and going slow, so i figured i would get my exhaust done first, but i think qtp headers are a little expensive, so i think ill be going with the jet-hots as long as nobody hs haad any problems with them. I really dont hear about anybody using them to much

Was this the old or new pacesetters? They new one's usually slip right in.

Yeah. When my friend and I put his pacesetters on we didn't notch anything, but it took us FOREVER to get his driver side hearer on. We should have notched it because it would have gone in a lot easier.
I think I'm going to go with the JetHots as well. I don't want to deal with the banging y-pipe that is somewhat common with the pacesetters.

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!
That's good to know! I always thought the jet hots had the same flange as the hookers.
