ARH vs Pacesetter, price/performance...?
Pace setters arent the best but not the worst for the money but for longevity pourposes and power in the future save up for the ARH. You will be so happy you did once you install one set. I have installed every header out there and once i did my first ARH set i was honestly amazed at how easy they went in. Instantly after that i called nick at ARH and set up an account with them and have been using them ever since. Save up the money and do it right ONCE and the first time.
I'll put it to you this way...I've had Pacesetters for 4 1/2 years. They are discolored now, but certainly not rusting. For the money, they can't be beat and they make great power. It may not be as much as some of the others, but it's going to be close. With that being said, I will buy some ARH's in the future when I need to upgrade to 1 7/8". They are IMO the highest quality header on the market. There are other great choices, but for me, it's hands down the ARH. Like mentioned above, you can save some cash to put towards other mods (which I did), or you can fork out now and never worry about it again. It's all about your budget and goals.
Honestly Bro if you live anywhere near the shore in MD deff go with Stainless.....I live on Long Island in NY and my third gen had steel headers and well they rotted....My Current Z now has Kooks and well I never have to worry about them.
Yeah I'm pretty close to all the rivers lol, not to far off the bay.
I have the ARH headers ( got them from Frans96ss) They went in SO SO EASY. I have worked with different headers on different cars and these were by far the best looking/best made and easiest headers to install. They sound GREAT and are worth every penny in my mind.

do it right the first time, unless you wanna replace headers every year!
My vote has to go for ARH all the way, had mine way over a year, best investment I did on my car, good luck

This thread is kinda worthless..... Apples and oranges...You want Mercedes go ARH you want ford go PS. Not that both won't get you where you are going but overall quality ARH is lightyears ahead.
