the Ultra Copper stuff i used said it was 02 sensor safe but i didn't buy that.. so i have scraped all the silicone inside the header off already. I've also heard that if you run the car a day or so with it open header (no 02's in) that you are also fine this way as well because the silicone/fumes burn off. The Y pipe should be here next week, i will post pics.

Don't post prices from non-sponsors, especially when they aren't accurate. Pacesetters are not more expensive than Edelbrocks.


This thread has me worried.

Report back when you get them installed and tell us how that goes.
I see that everytime i touch a set of Pacesetter emission style. I will say it once and many times over. They are made in Mexico and they are 100% JUNK.

very smooth transition. piping is full sized and not crushed or restricted anywhere. 3.5 inlets to match the header's collectors and tapers to 3 inch to go to your cat back.

I have enjoyed reading all the info about these two. I do like the Eddy Y much better than the Pace Y. Sounds like the Eddy LT's are a great way to go if you get the weld on collectors. I will probably just go with the 1-3/4" headers since I don't have a 400+ ci motor. Sounds like the Eddys come with the complete packeage of everything and make it simple and easy. Leaning more towards them and away from Paces LT's.
