Pacesetter offroad Headers worth it? I've already bought a set of pacesetter short tube headers for my 97 z28, still have to buy y pipe and copper gaskets, is the power gain worth the money? The lowest estimate I got for install were 350$ and 450$ and highest was around 800$! What kind of gains should I expect? I already have an air intake and it's straight piped from cat back. I do plan on having it tuned afterwards as well...thanks
An lt1 f-body isn't a car you want if you want to start modding and don't have time and tools, unless you have a deep pocket and don't have to ask about prices.... Just be prepared
if i were to pay $800 to get headers installed, id expect a ******* from the secretary lady while they install them. And some dinner included.
Find a friend to give you a hand. Itll speed things up a bit, and theres no special tools required. Just a basic set,. I dont think shorties will be as difficult to install as longtubes. If not then find the cheapest place to install them.

I would love to do the job myself just for the experience but all I have are rhino ramps not jack stands and not even a complete tool set haha just bits and pieces, don't get me wrong I've done work on her before but this is a little bigger than I can handle at the moment, I will probably end of taking it to the shop thy quote me 450$ because they are fast and I've seen them working on drag cars and other high performance vehicles plenty of times.

20whp isn't uncommon. And you don't NEED a tune with headers.
I asked where you are from in case someone from the forum is close by and willing to give you a hand.
If you weld everything on, how would you get it all out?
Don't worry about leaks. Good clamps are just as good as welds.
