Default Pacesetters???

Hey ive heard that pacesetters headers are real back about cracking because they dont take heat very well.
I was just wondering if anyone could verify that.

I'd say it's about a 0 hp difference between the two. Hookers cost more, they don't perform better.

Yeah, but you gotta do it, just once. My Dad came over right after I got mine installed. I said "Hey dad, reach in there and hit the key" He came outta there so fast he almost banged his head on the T-tops.

Most definitely. I'm surprised I haven't caught **** from the neighbors yet. We also had a friend of ours show up in his chopper motorcycle with some insanely large motor in it (144ci or something like that). And the garage I was working at, is kind of in a hole with concrete walls surrounding everything...so there was quite the echo
