Edelbrock LT's COATED ...very nice headers....BTW..your 3" pipe will fit into the 3-1/2" headers ...use some band clamps and some tin foil around where the pipes meet.....
I'll throw another one in for Edelbrock. Doing the install right now. They look solid. I know it doesn't apply to you, but their Y pipe is the best I have seen for the money.
Only downside, I ordered mine Feb 5th and they arrived 5 weeks later. Edelbrock isn't making a whole bunch of them, so the wait just depends on when you order.

They are both really good headers, the Pacesetters are made well and the price is right. I have them and they're great so far. The Edelbrocks look awesome and are becoming very popular also. You will need to use reducers to mate them to your pipes. Depending on what your long term goals are, you will see pretty much the same performance out of either set.

When I was cam only I swapped from Hooker headers, 3" duals with X pipe and twister mufflers to E-brocks, 3.5" duals with Twister mufflers and netted 40rwhp all over the curve.

I just installed a set of Pacesetters that are jethot coated INSIDE and OUT!!,through maryland speed, who are a sponsor for a good price!!! and they carry a life time warranty!! I had no problems w/the install they slipped right up, no cutting of the k-member, heat shields, or the BLOCK TABS!!, the car sounds awesome and I can really feel it on the highway in the upper range. Next up, a good tune from speedinc, YOU Hear that Speedinc!!!!, "i'm coming".

um.. from what everyone has said and done.. you must cut it off because of the design of the primary tube... i guess it hits it.. at least from what i remember reading..
I agree V6. Alot of these guys on the forum are doing just that!! Then tell the rest of the guys, who are installing 800 and 900 dollar headers, not to be cutting the block cause they are a bunch of dummies and don't know how to install headers.
