just wanted to know if there was a certin amount of ware that the pacesetters could handle. i have 70k on the care now so im going with them, but say i had 5k and its a daily driver, would it last till 130-150k? might make me change my mind and save to get qtp headers. thanks nick

will they go 100,000 miles and still look shiny and new.. probably not
will they go 100,000 miles before there are holes in them... probably

I was wandering the same thing. how long would they last in eastern florida, close to the beach? would it be alright to go with the pacesetters or should i save for the stainless?

00pewterWS6TA

really,pewterta. that sucks what kind of weather do u see where u live. after hearing that i'm gonna have to do some serious saving if i want stainless.

Do they salt the roads in the winter time? If so, that will contribute to the rust, but I haven't ever lived where it snows alot so I'm not up to date on what is done to the roads up north in the winter.

I have had mine for a year, one year and about 1000 miles, so mine look great, but if I were you I would save for stainless.

00pewterWS6TA

yes they do ALOT of salting on the rodes. also i put about 3k on my car a month driving 75 mile round trip to school every day adds to that a little. but i think i will start saving for the stainless. thanks alot.

while they will get surface rust on them, its not like they will rust threw anytime soon.

I hope they last longer than the Hooker LT's coated by JetHot. Mine lasted 20 months. Nothing like paper thin mild steel and a coating that flakes off.

I've had mine for about two years. I little surface rust by the collectors but not at all bad. I live in central Fl. btw.

Yeah, and if they do rust through, you can buy a fresh set and you still won't have spent any more than on one set of QTP or Kooks. Just a thought ...

just dont drive your car in the winter... problem solved... the rain in the spring will wash all the salt off the road

Oh same here! Mine look liked crap. I had to wire brush the collector and part way up the pipes and paint the header. So now I have a half coated half rusting/painted header. I understand if they are the only thing in your price range, but headers take a beating when it comes to weather and pace setters will not last in a DD. Mine started rusting before I moved North to Iowa. Need to get stailess but waiting to make the jump to a 408.
