Pacesetter didnt go in as easy as people said. I had to beat the floorboard to make the drivers side slide in. but I didnt have to remove my oil filter or jack the engine. and Its a pain to tighten the bolts. a real pain. make sure you dont have a leak after the install. and just make sure you follow correct instructions and recommendations, itll be way easier.

you might as well change the plus after the old exh. manifolds are off BTW.

My Jet Hots fell into place also, my first LT header instal on a fourth gen and it went smooth, I did it with the car on jack stands also. There based on the Hooker design but thicker gauge construcion and the 02 bungs are on the inside unlike the Hookers eliminating the need for 02 extensions. For the price you cant beat them, if money isnt an option the Kooks would be my choice.

Spoke with Rick at Synergy and he told me the new American Racing headers 1-7/8 went in pretty easy. He said 4hrs start to finish. Took longer to remove the SLP's. He also said the quality was outstanding.

From what i read on here, like was stated many times already. It seems each car is different and some headers go on some cars like butter and the same header could be the biggest bitch on another.

I have pacesetter LTs and like them.

However, I did have to remove the dipstick (the norm) and loosen the motor mount bolts to jack up the driver side of the engine to gain access to slide them in.

My Dynatech Supermaxx LT's fell right in from underneath (...of course, F-body requires sufficient height off the ground, but that isn't hard to achieve).

I only have experience with the Edelbrocks. But, a monkey could have installed them they were so easy.

For the buck and no problems when it comes to fitment I would go w/Pacesetter's.
