Default [B]Pacesetter headers[/B]

Pacesetter headers I was wondering how good these headers were for a 99 ws6 trans am? I think I seen a pair of non ceramic long tube headers for 280 or something. How do these compare against other headers and are the hooker, qtp, and other brands of headers alot better? how much power will I gain and HOW MUCH LOUDER will my car be with these headers and a magnaflow catback? all info would be much appreciated. thanks

use the search and you'll prob. come up with some good info, but they headers are basically a knock off of hookers... everything i've heard about them has been positive, but i do recomend getting them ceramic coated if the car will be driven a decent amount, especially in rain/snow. The coated just seem to last a lot longer. Your car will def. be louder with these headers and a catback, but it will sound amazing with a set of TD's from texas speed.

+1 on the coated.......you can get them and an ory pipe from TSP for 500.....a great deal......and there fit is just as good......don't be afraid to install them your self......it will shock you how easy they good they go in.....also get the race style and lose the AIR and EGR
