Default Headers on a LT1

do you guys think that this system is a pece of crap or culd it work? it seem to be a super good deal. oh and im also curious if its a big deal to change the stock manifolds for these and. does the engine need any kind of tuning. becouse there arent to many guys around here that can tune these engines
Here they are

i wuld love to buy headers from a sponsor of ls1tech.... im just realy looking for the cheapest of the cheap because all of the parts i need, need to be shiped over to iceland. and it is the formula is like this... Product price + shiping x 1.24 tolls and that ammount X 1.245 taxes so a if a pruduct + shiping is 100 i end up paying 156$ so im either looking for cheap deals or a shop that is willing to fake the invoice so i dont have to pay thoes high dutys.

no need for a tune, it will run rich for a bit but the computer will adjust for that through the readings of o2 sensors.

Pacesetter uncoated are about the cheapest LT headers out there right now. TSP has them on special for $285. The LTs are actually cheaper than the shorties right now. and pacesetter has proven to be a quality header.

Just specify what yr model.
93-95 Emissions Compatible
95-97 Emissions Compatible
93-97 Race Style w/o Emissions Fittings

as far as a catback goes, run the stocker, with a cutout.

What is the advantage of coated headers?

Is it just appearance?

coated headers keep the under hood temps down and engine temps (slightly) and keep them from rusting and lookin like crap.

Not to hijack this read, but has anyone ever had any problems with Pacesetter Coated headers? Like they rust after a few years or anything? I'm just debating between them and Jet-hot, but if pacesetters are gonna look like **** in a few years since they aren't coated inside, then I'll spend the extra $100.

they sell them the same price as most places on ebay sells them for. but if you want to keep them from rusting i would pay the extra cash for the coated one's IMO.
