Default From Mac headers, to Pacesetters, worth it?

I have Mac Midlenth headers on my car and want to change to Pacesetters LT's. DO u think its worth it or Nay? Also will the Mac ORYP fit with these headers? If not what all will I need?

I have to buddies that ran MAc's and got not power. I would pass on the Pace Setter and buy some Jet Hot header for $511 shipped and coated with the best coating on the market. They are designed after the Hooker and they bolt up nicely. Trust me I am running them. The LT will give you more HP and TQ in the low and midrange. Top end will be the same. LT are good for .3 and 3 mph on 98 and 99 cars but only .15 on 2000 and up unless you cam it.

I guess im a little slow, but where do you get the pacesetters from? How do you think that they compare to the hookers?? I have macs now and I want a change.

*edit* I just looked on ebay and found them for 265?? that sounds fishy to me..... any thoughts?

265 is right around where ive seen them for. theyre based on the hooker design with thicker flanges. i dont really think its worth the swap since youve got the mac's but id go pacesetters over mac's if i were swapping from manifolds.
