From the general review pacesetters are the best buy item for headers. They fit the best and flow just as good as any others along with being one of the cheapest.

LMII excellent choice with LT and ORY......i got the LM1 for now while i still have stock manifolds and y-pipe, but when i get headers im going to get the LMII, muffler so when i get sick of rasp and drone i can swap em, and when i get sick of quiet i can go back to loud.....
