Your going to need to buy different gaskets and bolts because the ones that come with all headers are garbage. Also the Pacesetters come with 02 extensions that you must make, or you can go out and buy 02 extensions whatever you want to do.

Pacesetter matching ORY $130 shipped
$525 shipped, I dont know why you have $532???

After ordering a TCI Flexplate and B&M Transmission Cooler from Byunspeed, I will say that the guy is a total liar, a complete jackass, and I will never buy from him again. He lied to me more than 5 times regarding when I would receive the TCI flexplate, and the car (my daily driver) was down waiting for this part. He told me I would receive it a specific day, never came, called again, said I would receive it ___, never came, etc etc and it went on for about 2 weeks. I will never deal with him again.

Oh yeah...I think Summit sells the Pacesetter LTs now. Texas-Speed.com also has them and their service is good.

I got mine from www.redlineperformanceengineering.com as they were one of the first to have them, and the ones I got from them are Jet-Hot coated, not regular ceramic coating. Good service from them too and fast e-mail replies.

I got fel pro 1406 gaskets from summitracing for $16 and ARP bolts for $16. You can get 02 extensions I think there and at a number of sponsors sites, Imma get some since I do not feel like making my own from the kit. Also its a good time to change out your plugs and wires if u hadn't done so lately. I recommend NGK TR55 plugs and Taylor Spiro Pro wires are a popular choice as well as the MSD.

If you have emissions (visual + rolling dyno), get the emissions headers.....if not, get the race headers. If you just have to pass w/no PCM codes, then go for the race headers and make sure you get the AIR/EGR and rear O2s deleted.

yes, I cant find a catted y-pipe so Im going to have flanges welded onto my Pacesetter ORY to switch from a straight pipe on each side to cats.

If you don't have the Cali-type laws, than go non-emission headers. Also, I'd recommend buying from TSP and getting the TSP ORY as opposed to the Pacesetter ORY.

Call up TSP or send them an email and they'll get you setup with everything you'll need.

You'll need to get some cats added to the Pacesetter y-pipe or have a complete catted y-pipe made. And the emissions headers on an automatic are a pita to install. I'm still not done with my install yet.
