dynatechs dont allow easy plug access from what i can tell. i dont own a pair but i saw a pair on a car and the owner said it was not easy and it really didnt look easy either.

No matter what headers, I though "easy plug access" and "LT1" never come in the same sentence.

I'm getting Jet-hot LT's, so I'm of no use.

whats wrong w/ jet hots? pacesetter is the latest craze kinda alot of people are getting them...Ive had 2 different sets of jet hots and have had clearence issues with both. i had the infamous problem where the collecter is at an upward angle. i have hooker super comps now..basically same tube design as jet hot, and they fit like a ******* glove. plug access is awsome. my vote goes for jet hot though. by far the best header available.

I thought Hooker and Jet-Hot were practically identical??? How did you have clearance issues with Jet-Hot but not Hooker? And why, after clearance issues, do you still say Jet-Hot is best? Thanks a lot, you're a great help!

Kooks are the best in every way. They are more expensive than other LTs, but justifiably so.

The Jet Hots that refer to as "Jet Hot longtubes" are just Hooker longtubes with a Jet Hot coating. They are the same header. I would go with either the Pacesetters or Jet Hots if you are on a budget.

I have kooks 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 stepped and the plug access is a joke. I can swap plugs with the motor hot in 10min tops.

i always thought that jet hots were "just coated hookers" they are similar but not hookers. the tube design is similar, but not the same. also, the flange is totally different, jet hot have d ports, hooker are rectangle.
well my 1st set of jet hots had to be but to get in the car..had a professional doing it on a lift....

my 2nd set of jet hots = my drivers side header was pointing upwards on the car, not allowing my y pipe to go on. i did some research and this is a common problems forcing people to take the car to a exhaust shop for a custom y pipe..

reason i now they are different, cuz durring my whole jet hot ordeal, i decided -f*ck it- and just bought hookers, so i had both sets at my house, i did comparrision with pics.
check it out ----> http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366712

each header has 1 tube thats different routing.
