tried and true. and get COATED headers, the painted kind will have sky high temps and thats probably why they warp. the coating is a real life saver and should be on every header unless its stainless steel
Had them since March and have no problems. I have a buddy who runs at least 3 passes a week at the track. Have known him for almost a year and he races almost every week. I know that he has had them for 2.5 years with NO problems. Hope this helps.

Thankz for the input...But i need a Cheap pair of headers...Poor College Student! But of course i dont want to blow my money or put shitty parts on my camaro. Also any opinions on a muffler that would have minimal interior noise when being Dumped? Thankz
well youre gonna have to man up and pay for the coating or jsut dont do it at all. as for a muffler, jsut buy a catback or if you want cheap hp w/o stock interior noise at times buy an electric cutout. loud when you want, stock when ya dont
Ive had pacesetters on my car 3 years (uncoated) and about 25K miles and they appear to be fine and numbers show they still work just as well. just dont look as pretty as stainless

BUY THE ******* COATING
Im telling you and everyone will agree with me. coating will help prevent RUST, and HEAT
Rust will just crap them out and you'll have to do it alllll over again
Heat can burn up the plug wires and melt ****
Those 2 reasons alone should be enough for you to see why you need to wait, save a while longer and get the ceramic coating.

thats what i was planing on doing bro...i know the advantages of coated headers. there only like $50 more so its no big deal...i was talkin about the fact that i wanted to buy something w/ a little better reputation. but w/ rep comes increase in mullata which i dont have...but COATED pacesetters is the way im gonna go. dont know bout the rest of the exhaust. No cat-back is goin on my car. I'm goin X-pipe true duals. Just need a kinda quiet muffler, cuz that **** gets annoying after awhile.
K good boy lol. pace setters have a great reputation, they have been tried and true for years now. as for a quiet muffler, use some of those tiny mini cats with like a 10 series flowmaster or maybe some magnapacks or borla XR-1 mufflers
not trying to hijack, but this has something to do with the topic. Just curious to those who have had the coated pacesetters for a while, what exactly does the coating look like after a year or two or three of use?? Just curious??

Pace Setter coating = prevent rust "my ***". My headers look terrible after 2 years through only 15K miles. The coating flaked off the collector a long time ago, and has been working its way up the pipes. It was my daily driver that saw rain, very little snow. But I was once a college student that used part of my school loan to pay for them.
Never heard of Pacesetters warping, and I've read a few posts in here. 
My pacesetters discolored by the collectors and a few inches up the tubes, but they looked fine from under the hood. If I was on a budget, I would look nowhere else.
