I may look into having mine re-coated soon, I was working on the car this weekend and noticed how bad they are looking...

You got that thing gutted there Slow Formula..you guys have been busy doin some work..

I bought the Coated Racing Pace Setter LT's for my LT1 when I had it and had no problems with them at all. I bought the same for my LSX when I swapped over. Both of them came with Copper Header Gaskets as well.

The Hookers have ground clearance issues from what I hear, both pairs of the Pace Setters that I have bought tuck up really well.

The only problem I had with my Pacesetters was one of the tubes were not crimped and I had to grind the flange on the bolt to get it to fit. Other then that have not had a problem been on the car for 2 years no rust but I only drive the car in the summer.

if anyone is curious about hooker ceramic coated headers, heres my .02cents...

i picked them up late in 06. on occassion, not dy decision, i had to drive her in the rain. it is now almost two years later and after looking at the headers during a trans kit install, they were rusted almost completely through at certain areas. i did not expect something like this to happen for headers i paid nearly 700 for but i suppose thats what the salt will to them... i now wish i had gone stainless steel

other than this criticism....these headers are AMAZING.
