Edelbrock LTs vs. Pacesetter LTs
My uncle has a '99 Trans Am, and we're looking into putting some LT headers on his car real soon. I know there are better LT headers out there, but it's going to be between these two because they fit his budget better. I've read a good bit on the coated Pacesetter 1 3/4" LTs, but have seen very little information about the new Ti-Tec coated Edelbrock 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8" LTs. What are the differences between the Ti-Tec coating on the Edelbrocks and the Jet Hot coating on the Pacesetters? I've read that the Ti-Tec coating doesn't hold heat in as well, and of course doesn't look as good as the Jet Hot coated LTs, but are there any other bad things that I should know about the Edelbrocks?

the edlebrocks do have a 3.5" collector. i have seen a set of these and they put my pacesetters to shame. i like my pacesetters and have had good luck with them, but the edelbrocks are a much better quality header for not much more $$$. when i am through with my pacesetters, i am gonna go with the edelbrocks.

A stepped header such as the E-brocks will make more power over the Pacesetters on any given day, EVEN on a stock internal application. Car Craft tested it!

Sounds like the quality is definately up to par with the Edelbrocks, which was my main concern. I'm gonna try out the Edelbrocks. Thanks for everybody's input on this.

i agree in any case that a stepped header will work better. (In my opinion) I didn't know or consider the edebrock piece, what was I thinking? I don't know the price. If price is consideration and the number is close, I would def consider the edelbrock piece. plus..... anything is better than the pacesetter Y-pipe, its horrible, at least the one i recieved, is horrible.

I'm looking at the same two and was wondering -- does Edelbrock have emission hook-ups and a catted Y Pipe?
If they don't have a one, what catted y-pipe will fit the Edelbrocks?
