I love how you use the word "gay" as if that is supposed to be the end all of insults. Do you think being gay is the worst thing on earth? I dont know what they teach you in your "park" or if you church it up any and call it a "community", but just because somebody has different beliefs, hobbies, sexual preferences than you does not make them bad. But hey thats just me, I grew up in a city and slept in a different bed than my mom. But I know one thing we can agree on is that ******* your mom IS the best bang for your buck!

I bought them mainly because of the price. But after getting and installing them, they are a very high quality header and fit great on these cars. The price is just a bonus. The only potential downside I see to them is that they are not stainless. So they would not be the best for driving in bad weather and salt. Not an issue for my garage queen though and I'm very happy with mine.

I actually debated between xs and pacesetter but i didn't like how the collector on the xs was close to the floor board

FLowtech is a Holley performance brand, and so is Hooker headers and a number of others. Are you claiming that Edelbrock makes Hooker headers as well?

Have pacesetters, love 'em for the price-no complaints. I had a friend headwrenching at a shop, 80% of LS1's slapped Pacesetters LT's and never looked back.

Man, you really wanna have the last word don't you.

Mine for the COMPLETE kit, down to the screws and zipties for 1200, thats for the y pipe and cats too and made great power.

340rwhp (Corrected) 350 un corrected

Dynatech, w/ Catted Y pipe
Corsa
SLP lid
Tuned
12 bolt and heavy 3" steel DS
2002 LS1

The car ran strong, untouched accessories and tb, no free mods
Not tryin to dog you, but I would have expected more w/ that set-up and an LS6 intake. I have an LS1 intake w/ Pacesetters and Lid and Tune and putting down 355 Corrected. I guess it all depends on the car and tune.
