How can you regret Jethots for $500 plus a y when you make 446rwhp? I had 0 problems with my Jethots and a used Hooker Y pipe modded at the exhaust shop. I don't like the idea of the Jethot sectioned y pipe though. I'm trying to decide between pacesetter, Jethot, Edelbrock. Kooks might be stainless, but my Jethots looked great 1.5 years later.

i dont think you would regret the pacestters. i have had them for almost 2 years and my car was a daily driver for 1 of the years, and i lived in southern colorado in the winter. they look as good as the day i put them in up top. on the bottom they are browning, but that will be expected with any header i think. min fit perfect. seriously took like 10 minutes a piece after the plugs were removed. also, mine are the coated headers.

I love my pace setter headers, but my TSP y pipe got smashed to **** so I'm going to recommend option 2, but if you don't already have a cat back, I'd go with a true dual system instead of a y and a cat back.

I said screw it and bought a set of QTP's. You can't beat $665 for stainless headers with a high velocity merge collector. Not to mention they've been around for a while and have proven performance. See the Sponsor sale section, sale ends Saturday.
I would get the armor coated pacesetters over kooks, although if you dont mind spending the extra cash get kooks. But you may want to consider QTP? Their headers are made from 304 stainless just like kooks, but cost a little less at somewere around $730.
i didnt kno the kooks was so much better. i kno that with the kooks 4 the tunnel brace setup 4 a new torsion bar u dont need the longtube setup which has a bend in it 4 room, and is asking 4 cement. i was actually lookin at pacesetters but if the kooks r better and i dont need that LT tunnel brace i mite go that way
