look at the price lol the pace setter are a buget header there built desent but wont last

slp are tuned headers but they suck they hang so low and will hit the ground even if your cars not lowerd

you should look at
QTP / kook / hooker / American racing for headers

most headers are going to give u about 15 - 20 maybe 25 -30 on some really nice 1 like the new American 2'' headers but those are for all out racing big cube motors

mostly what your paying for is not hp but how well they are built pace setter are built good but they dont last long maybe 5 years because there coated

but like slp are stainless steal and thicker metal they will last as long as ur car

i would got for a set of kooks or the qtp headers there built well produces good power and wont drag the ground

im also looking into headers for my car, but all the ones I find and read about say they are not street legal? Does that mean they will make my car fail smog or are they "illegal" like they say window tinting is?

i have slp long tubes with starno lowering springs. Headers are fine. Scrap once in a blue moon. and thatd only be due to my shitty KYB shocks that cant keep up with the springs. Yes the exhaust hangs low. but after you drive the car youll get use to it. i even have shitty roads i gotta drive on around here.
