Default Long tube headers

I'm in the market to buy some long tube headers. I would like to know which ones fit better, easier installation, less interferance problems, ect. I just dont want to buy a set of them to find out they don't hardly fit or they drag on the groung etc. This is just the beginning of collecting parts for the new motor.

They are low to the ground. A friend has them, and hates them.

i like the pacesetters as well except for one little detail one of the primaries on the passenger side comes in contact with the motor mount bracket and really pisses me off now that winter is about here its time to pull the bracket and do some grinding

I ran pacesetter shorties, and liked them quite a lot......I have now swapped to Pacesetter LTs.

4 Pacesetter!!

btw, not to ***** out my parts, but I am selling my old exhaust setup, which consist of Coated PS Shorties, and a Coated Y-Pipe for $250 if you're interested.

5+ Pacesetter you can not beat there value. Around $400 for ceramic coated 1.75 primaries. Best value on the market

if your car is stock height you can run hookers without a problem just be careful with speed bumps. they went in from the top for me. all i had to do is unbolt the motor mounts and lift one side of the motor at a time and remove the valve covers and all accesories. maybe i got lucky
