pacesetter or hooker? Well I was going to go with the pacesetter long tubes with tsp ory but someone had told me the hookers fit better, no rubbing on the plugs. The hookers are almost the same price with hooker ory. Anybody have this setup?
well i just got some jet-hots with a jet-hot y pipe and ive heard good things about all of them, i heard the pacesetter y-pipe bangs on the floorboard.
i went with jet-hot because i guess they are designed better than the hookers and thhey are jet hot coated (along with my y-pipe)

Pacesetters are fine, as is the Y (at least in my case the Y hasn't banged yet) as for the wires touching the plugs, on the #5 wire, it touches the primary on the headers, but so far no problems with that
....and just to clear it up Jethots are Hooker knock offs with the o2 bung moved. When the Hookers came out, just like almost anything for our cars, they were the best thing since sliced butter for the price/quality. So Jethot made a couple changes to them and started making them.
I don't know if Hooker has changed their design any from when they first came out. I have some of the first ones with the Hooker y and never had any banging/rubbing issues.
I think that almost all the headers for our cars are pretty good. I've heard stuff about Flowtech and the like but I don't know anyone personally that has them.

I'm not saying Jethots are bad. At the time there was a huge demand for inexpensive headers and they decided to knock off the Hookers, make them more how people wanted them and I personally think there a good header. When I see people comparing them to Hookers, I'd rather just tell people the truth and go from there. Can't blame them for what they did. If I had the resources I'd do the same!
