Pacesetter -> LPP; gains? Just curious to see what types of gains you got from switching from pacesetter LTs to the LPP LTs.
Is it possible to get the emissions hook-ups welded on to the LPPs? Price guess to have this done?

Most everything I've read indicated no advantage of 1 3/4"-1 7'8" stepped headers versus straight 1 3/4" headers. I'm sure not everyone would agree, and there could be dependencies based upon your specific application. There are some direct comparisons out there, but they were hard to find, and few between.

I think you might have a slight SOTP gain in swapping to the stepped headers with high flow merge collectors. I would do the swap for the looks and durability, any gains (if any) would just be a plus.

Thanks for all the input. Headers are my next mod and just weighing my options. I am not wanting to go much beyond the PS / LPP price point and wanted the best bang I can get. My only hang up on not getting the LPP is that I still want the emissions hook-ups which is why I was looking at the PS.
So you guys think it is possible to get the hook-ups welded on to the LPPs for <$100? I haven't checked with any shops but just curious. If so I would prefer the LPPs because they are stainless.

I would hate to go through all the hassle installing headers only to find out I cant get a state inspection sticker in 1-2 years.
As far as my plans for the car... I eventually would like to get a small->mid range cam and perhaps a few other mild things, but this won't be a race car or a high HP application.
