Default Ebay headers on a vette ?

Anyone try them on a vette yet ? seen them or heard anything about the fitment ? They seem to fit f-bodies well.

On another subject :

Besides possible rust issues with Pace Setter headers, how is the quality and HP gain of these type headers ?


thanks guys

I wouldnt get any cheap *** e bay headers especially on a vette. if you can afford a vette save up and get some nice headers. And pacesetters are a great quality header thats been proven time after time.

Funny you say that about pace setters.... I might be a test car for a LT header for the vettes.... I need to find out a few things for them ( pacesetter)about the vettes emissions etc. Do they have a true ceramic coating ? If thier headers are good quality then i will , hopefully be the car they use to devolope the long tube headers for the 01+ vettes.

Any info you know would be great

Thats cool, tell them if they developed a stainless counterpart to their existing longtubes for f-bodies they would steal whats left of the f-body header market!

I believe that I read one post by a guy who bought them for a Corvette and liked them. I cannot remember if it was posted on this board or on another board.

The ONLY thing wrong with pacesetters is they are not stainless .

There seems to be a lot of Supra mentality when it comes to cheap parts. I have read several reviews with people not having a problem.

If I get picked to be a test car for Pacesetter , it would be cool if they would do a Stainless header, but I really thnk they want to do a steel one and offer coating

They have not re-contacted me on this....... but I hope they do.

have a good one Tim
