Pacesetter install help? Anyone ever have any issues with installing Pacesetter LT header and the ORY? I had a 95 TA and nothing fit so i sent everything back to Pacesetter to be tested, I was told nothing was wrong with the product. So now i have a 97 TA and im having the same **** happen again. Any help?

What are you having problems with exactly? I have pacesetters LTs and ory and while it didn't just drop in, I didnt have to many problems. Y pipe took some coaxing to fit
Did them my self in an afternoon in my garage with no lift... lol

headers The y-pipe does not line up at all, there is a gap where the two pieces line up, headers seem like they are to far apart. On my 95 i did replace the motor mounts and it made it worse, the headers were to high up under the car and the y-pipe would'nt even go on. But i have not changed the mounts on my 97.

headers That's crazy how high you had to raise the car. I was able to put the driver side header in from the top of the motor and passenger went in good. I can take pics at a later time, i dont even want to look at that **** anymore! Whats not fitting is where the passenger side y-pipe meets the driver side one.

I did my pacesetter lt when I did the cam and stuff. I had the car 28 inches off the ground and wish I had more. It was a pain, big pain. I wish I would have bought Kooks. I have a friend with them and they have a far better fitment of the y pipe. I had to use the hammer to get the y pipe to clear the tourqe arm then pulled it out again to clear some more of the fuel lines. I used heat wrap every where it was close.

Then prepare to shell out 1000+ for headers and ory, and even then they don't fit perfect... and the $300 OBX stainless off ebay requires a BFH and a grinder...

Well I pissed away all the money on pacesetters crap product, why not take the chance on a different brand. I'm just tired of these companies making all this money and they sell crap, it's not fare to anyone that runs into these issues.

post pics. of what issues you are running into please. Its easy to get frustrated and pissed and just not even care about doing anything to the car when you run into problems like this. I have pacesetters in mine. I ordered their standard LT black painted ones and then later got their ceramic coated ones and I didn't have one problem with them, they fit like a glove.

I had a hell of a time putting mine on. I ended up jacking the front end up about 4 feet and unbolting one motor mount at a time and then placeing a jack under the oil pan, lifting the motor a bit freeing up a little room.
anyone heard anything on these headers http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LT1-LONG...item1e6a79a364
my buddy showed them to me before i ordered pacesetters they aint bad price taken there stainless but really not sure on a very very tight budget dont want to waste money but i aint afriad of doing a little fab work to get a stainless set for that money any thoughts just dont want to get some pos and my bad if i did that wrong my comp is being a pos lol but there the $200 from ebay thanks

I got the stainless pacesetter headers, and the fit fine. I had to undo the motor mount on one side, raises the motor up, slide it in place perfectly. Then the same for the other side. Didn't even jack up the car.
