Default Pacesetter LT Install?

I was thinking of buying pacesetter LT for my 01ss and I was wanting to know how hard is the install and will I have any ground clearance problems b/c I have sportline springs.

Pacesetters are probably one of the more ground clearance style headers.

Install is easy, a weekend project if you're alone, and I had no ground clearance loss

I really like the Pacesetters, had the removal of stock crap and had it installed in around 4 hours (with a lift). The slid right in, all I had to do was loosen the steering linkage, but other than that they were easy to fit in there.

Oh yeah, I used to have Sportlines and they didnt drag, you will be draggin on the ypipe not the headers. I recommend ditching the Sportlines tho. One of the best thing I have done was swapping to the Prokit.

I agree with everyone here.....I have them, LOVE them, they sound great, I got very noticable gains from the install. Took me and my buddy like 10hrs to do, but that was alot of breaks, several beers, and smoke breaks.

Best bang for the buck!!!
Also get you some TR 555 plugs.....

Thats the LTs Im leaning towards getting too. Thought Id let you know I seen them on texas speeds web site for about $375(coated LTs). What Y pipe should you get to go with these headers and what do you do about the O2 sensor throwing the ses light.

i got them and love them. Prokit hasn't caused a bottom out on them yet. Get the O2 extensions from one of the sponsors though, don't you the wiring kit that comes from Pacesetter. I hooked up all my air tubes and didn't throw a code.

You can either get o2 sims, or have the codes deleted, as for what y to go with, I used the pacesetter y (not the greatest, but it works)you can use the TSP y, or have one fabbed up by a local shop (if you have it custom fabbed use the flowmaster merge, it's a much smoother joining of the 2 pipes, at least visually)

Ok thanks for the input. So pretty much any ORY will do about the same with the pacesetters.
