I came up with 139 threads in "External Engine" with the words Pacesetters AND Kooks in them.

Oh, +1 for KOOKS.

depends on how much you want stainless or not... the kooks may flow more with a HVMC and will outlast your lifetime

...pacesetters are great on the budget and a good proven header

They are both good...just depends on how much you are willing to spend and how long you are going to keep your car.

Its very easy to find a y-pipe that works with Pacesetters. Pacesetter makes a y for them and so does TSP. I ordered my Pacesetters and TSP ORY for $500 the other day. I'm patiently waiting for them to arrive.

I think the stainless steel Kooks are worth the extra money.

Stainless steel if you are panning on keeping the car for a while.

as everyone else has said, kooks are stainless and will last much longer, but it comes at a price. Kooks will also produce a little extra power because of their "High Velocity Merge Collector" design. But, I have coated pacesetters and you just can't beat them for the price IMO.

So the answer is, you can't go wrong either way, at this point its about what YOU want.
