Default headers???

so about to do full exhaust and cant decide what headers to use and cash is kinda tight so i 've chose between a set of hookers and a set of pacesetters wich would be better they are both the same price

The Hooker and Pacesetter headers are nearly identical. If you are on a budget, get the Pacesetters

Do it right and get stainless long-tubes. Coated headers will rust over time and long-tubes perform the best. All others are a compromise. I second the lpp for the $

I have the first version of uncoated pacesetters. Haven't really had any problems out of them. If I had it to do over, I'd go with stainless myself.

Same here, went with those because I never know how long I'll want to keep the car. That and I got the headers + Y-pipe new in the boxes for $250. They get the job done. Put them on three years ago. The collectors started to rust probably on the way home from getting them installed. The primaries have just started to show some rust in the past few months. I daily drive it through rain and snow over 24k miles a year.
If I knew for sure I'd keep the car a long time then I would get stainless LPPs, $600 for the headers and Y.
