the headers are just the start to a whole new true dual exhaust. am i better off buying it all together as a kit, or can i do it cheaper buying everything seperate?

hookers have very thin flanges, I was really disappointed when I saw them, because I have had hookers on other cars in the past and they were always good quality, but for some reason the LT1 headers arent

I am also happy with my coated Pacesetters. A small amount of rust stains around the welds, but no issues with leaks or flaking. Not sure on your "true dual" question. I think you get good flow with the 3" y-pipe and a good cat-back. This combination with the Pacesetters keeps a very good ground clearance for me.

I am a huge fan of Pacesetter longtubes.

Done installs on 2 LT1's with them, they are pretty darn easy to put on. Hookers are next in line IMO.

i put on my hookers and they were pretty easy to install... still havent experienced them while working but i have only heard good things about their performance. i have had the pacetters (didnt install them though) and they were AWESOME with the true duals on my last car.. i wouldnt have traded that exhaust for the world... well maybe for thw world but you know what i mean...

You can get Pacesetter stuff almost anywhere.

And yes, you will want to buy the Y-Pipe from Pacesetter also, its notched and the correct dimensions (OD) to work without any modifications.

I wouldnt trade my FLP longtubes for anything, except maybe some Kooks, but then again, you could buy a few sets of pacesetters for the same price as a set of Kooks or FLPs

I got shorty's because I have a lowered car. I bought coated hooker super comp shorty's and have had them on for almost three years and still look good. I would recommend also getting percys gaskets for the flange on whatever header's you decide to get.
