Default Question about headers

well i was thinking about getting pacesetter LT's and either their ory or the tsp ory.which one do you guys recommend? also i have slp lm1 installed on my car right now and wanted to know if it was just plug and play if i install the lt's and ory to the lm1's I pipe,without any fitment issues since my whole catback is welded.i would leave the catback welded and clamp the ory to the LM.

Pretty sure you're going to need the Pacesetter y-pipe. It's made for their headers, so it's plug and play.

Can't help you with the LM, although I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to get it mated up.

What's so strange about it? They are good for a budget header but there are far better ones out there that outperform and last longer (ceramic coating) than these. I could be making no sense, ive been in school since 6am so im talking out of my *** lol.

I have installed two sets of PS LT's. One for my buddy and the second set on my car. Yes they are cheap, but fitment IS good. Of course we both used the race style headers. I would never mess around with AIR and EGR if I was going with LT's. Both of the cars are slammed and with the PS LT's the ground clearance is good and the PS y-pipe tucks up nicely. If I had the money, I would have gotten stainless steel headers, but if you get the ceramic coated PS header, you can't call it a terrible product by any means.

You will likely have to install the headers and y-pipe and take it somewhere and get the y-pipe and catback welded or cut to match so that you can use a clamp.

I agree, but there are no more LPP's for now, that's why I didn't mention them

Unless someone like American Racing Headers comes out with an LT1 header (which is highly doubtful =P), then I'm sold to the new LPP's.
