Out of the two mentioned I would pick the pacesetters. I believe that they solved their fitment issues from the past. They are the cheapest, and from what I understand the quality is decent. I personally would not put anything other than stainless. I love my Dynatech Supermaxx.

even though this thread is played out, there is some misinformation, coated hookers and coated pacesetters are the same price on several websites.

DO NOT GET A PACESETTER Y PIPE, it just beats the hell out of your, get a TSP adjustable y pipe.

in the end im going to get coated pacesetters becuase i know they fit well and are a quality piece. only thing steering me away from the ebay stainless headers is that ive heard people have to modify them to fit, and i want 0 problems for my swap, if i wasnt going to be trying to do a motor swap in one day id get the ebays.
