I am wanting to buy Pacesetter LT's and The Y pipe that goes with them. Is this a good purchase?? anyone that has these headers please reply

 

alot of people run them with great results they're a great piece for the price

 

coated ones are a good header at a good price. If you have the money stainless or kooks are the way to go.

 

Yes, good bang for the buck header.
But, before you buy them, look in the Classified Section for used sets of headers, you might be able to get a set of stainless steel used headers for the same price as new coated pacesetters, for example, click on this link.

He is selling some SS QTP's with an ORY w/ a flowmaster merge all for $550.
That is a pretty good deal and the merge really help alot, I have one too.

Yes, pacesetters are good I have them, but stainless steel is better in the long run. You will learn these things the more you mod the car, have fun!

 

A great choice. I have run and installed numerous sets and they fit and perform great for the $$...dont hesitate to go Pacesetter..

 

They are a great budget header, If you live somewhere where rust may become an issue definitely get Stainless Steel headers!

 

definitely happy with my coated pacesetters and the pacesetter y pipe. ive had no issues with at all. they have been on my car now for maybe close to 2 years.

 

if your gonna keep the car long term pony up for stainless. while pacesetters serve a purpose there is a huge difference between them and a quality header like Kooks. it's always cheaper to do things once.

 

oh and wrong forum

 

Agreed. I should have just went with stainless off the bat. However I've had my coated pacesetters since they were 1st designed and still have almost zero rust. It only appeared by the collector. But then again my car has 26k and doesn't see the elements.

 

My car really never goes out in the rain, or anything. It stays in a cool shop. So I dont think rust would be an issue.

 

best bang for the buck IMO...just stay the hell away from SLP LT's and ORy...freaking ground huggers...

 

had coated pacesetters for couple of years and they still look new, no rust at all, and fit perfectly

 

i like my pacesetters but if youre keeping it long term id definitely go with stainless. When I build my new engine I'm going to either get kooks or arh.

 

I put pacesetters on my 2000 SS loved them but the Y pipe kinda sucks so I bought a mufflex one, not saying to buy a mufflex Y pipe but the connection just kinda sucks, you can just cut it off and weld up a flowmaster connection and would probably be exactly the same.

 

My Pacesetters & Y were a great fit. Go with coated ones. The paint came off on the first startup.

 

good headers for the money...definately get coated though

 

ive had 3 f-bodies with pacesetter and they are good for the price. i just put on TSP pacesetter lt with TSP y pipe package... have to say the y from tsp fits the car a lot better than pacesetters y imo

 

I was gonna get the coated anyway the black looks shitty lol

 

I have the coated pacesetters and catted ypipe. fit together great. no problems so far
