Default Hooker Vrs Pacesetter

Pros and cons? looking to get some long tubes and and ory i just bought a corsa catback, so im looking for the best combination without spending 900 plus dollars on long tubes. Any comparisions would be helpful sound comparison, quality, performance differences, etc...

FWIW I've put on 2 sets of Pacesetters, the first time, on my car, they fit like a glove, the second, was a little more difficult, but not too bad.
I can't speak for the hookers (never installed any) but if I was to get a set of headers I'd vote for the pacesetters

well ive heard pacesetters fit really nice... but ive also heard hooker is one of the best... for sound and performance.. but all LT headers are within 5hp of eachother.. so its really up to you... they will all give similar gains.... but there are alot that have fitment and clearance issues... like the slp one.. i hear they have some clearance issues...
