Default Ordering LT's...good idea?

Ive decided on the budget headers and am going to go pacesetters. I was just wondering if this off of ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Paces...ayphotohosting
Would be a good idea. It seems like it comes with most everything I would need. Or should I go with a more reputable site where i know 100% that what im getting will fit no problem. I Have a 93 lt1 by the way. Also, it seems the headers arent really available for 93's with emissions...should I just do an air/egr delete?

heavy6.0 is the guy to talk to on here

380 for coated (last time I checked), free shipping on them. I do not know price of Y pipe but I am sure you'll still save at least 20-25 dollars over ebay.

I don't know where you are located but I am taking mine off here in the next couple of weeks and am going to be putting them for sale in the classifieds. Mine are the emissions style with the ORY, I bought painted ones, media blasted the crap paint off of them and sprayed them with a 2000 degree ceramic then wrapped them and am going to be cutting someone a helluva deal once I get them off.

You should consider some of the stainless knockoffs on EBay.

Why not? Stainless will last forever! Coated pacesetters will only last a couple years if you car gets driven in the rain/ or snow. I have coated pacesetters, they are nice, but my car only gets driven on nice days.

The cheap Ebay knockoffs are probably more expensive than the coated Pacesetters, but probably not much. If you want the best of both worlds, get some cheap stainless headers and have them coated by Jet Hot. The primary purpose of ceramic coating is to reduce temps & increase exhaust gas velocity. The Pacesetters will rust, coated or not. The coating will only delay the corrosion.
