Default Pros-Cons Long Tube Headers

I'm in the market for long tube headers and I am looking for feedback between two different companies. Hooker LT's and Pacesetter LT's. I would like any info you guys have on the two. Good experiences as well as bad ones, thanks in advance.

I have pacestters on my car as do three of my buddies. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Plug access is good, thick flanges, and they tuck up under the car nicely.

I just wish the Pacesetter y-pipe came coated like the headers.

I've heard that they can be kinda noisy at times, rattles etc. Is that true?

As far as the pacesetters go I would say the only problem I have ever seen with them is horrible y-pipe fitment at times, but then again this happened with an ls1. I know that if I were going to buy headers I would just go with pacesetters cause they cost less and hell who needs a y-pipe when you want a x-pipe into true duals
