I’ve had them for 9 months now and love them I got them from ws6store and got the optional jet hot coating and the only problem I’ve had is they’re peeling at the collectors, which may be due to them being daily driven through the winter with salt on the ground. Even with that said I still think there a great product at a great price.

Yes they are good headers, Yes you will make more power, the rest of your questions can be answered by reading the exhaust sticky at the top of this section.

-They mean oxygen sensor simulators for the rear sensors....you either need them sim'd or deleted in your tune or else you will get the light.
-Yes you can certainly feel the longtubes a stronger overall pull.
-Just get the pacesetter y-pipe and Longtubes.

I still need to do this on my new ride...but have done in the past....not fun to install, but well worth it.

best deal is to get coated pacesetters from www.ls1speed.com .. $374.99 SHIPPED.. you get free shipping.. add the Y pipe in for $124.99 and you have a complete system for $498.98 SHIPPED.. cant beat that deal right now..

they are great headers and easy to install.. took me 3 hours from start to finish..

I got mine from TSP with their ORY for $500 in a package. Got the armor coated without emmissions. I love them & have had them in/out of the car a couple times for other mods & they were very simple to get in/out from under the car. Not hammering the car or cuttin the tab off the block like some have to.

I would just add a set of O2 extensions & forget the sims. I advise against using the extension kit provided by Pacesetter unless your VERY confident in your wiring abilities. You can get the codes deleted by a local tuner without having a full tune done.

they will give you more power. Im happy with the way mine turned out. The ses light will come on though. Seems to be inevitable until you get the tune done
