I've been searching for some reasonable headers the past few days and I decided to go with the pacesetter ceramic coated for 4-500....I think (Ill double check) but i came across these? what's so bad about them? Why so cheap?

there is threads all over about them... some good, most bad.. id steer clear and save myself a possible head ache..

the problem you will have is bad fitment.. will be a bitch to get on.. i would MUCH MUCH rather pay 150$ to not have to deal with that..

if you want to save some money just go with the cheap pacesetters.. i think they are a tad under 300 bucks.. mine slipped right in..

Sorry I didn't see those threads. but yea I think I'll go with the pacesetters not a bad price and they have great feedback. I think I want stainless tho, they seem to last longer than ceramic...I guess I'll just have to wait and see....thanks a lot

There are scratch and dent hooker headers ceramic coated on ebay for about $329 plus shipping.

If it's $180, I have a hard time believing it's good material for that price. You'd be hard pressed to get a hold of enough material to do the headers. T300 stainless 3" pipe usually costs around $25 a foot, and each primary is going to be around 30". Do the math and that's about 20 feet of tube, plus bends, and plus the flanges and the collectors...

Most good stainless headers are going to be north of $700

If you're just trying to put some LT's on the car and not spend a bunch of money, just go with the pacesetters or the scratch/dent hookers you can find.

EDIT: Is it just me, or do a lot of these ebay stainless steel headers look (cheap) chrome plated?

and what's up with the oversized bolt holes?... and there's too many haha... do you have to adjust them to fit and use washers or something? lol... i would stay away from those... i got lucky when i bought my car i found a guy selling a brand new set of jethot lt's for $250... he was doing an ls1 swap in a 69 camaro and they wouldn't clear the frame rails... if you're willing to pay a little more than the pacesetter's, definitely give jethot a look... they fit well, tuck up pretty good considering it's a longtube, and have the o2 bungs on the inside of the collector instead of the outside

I bought my headers off of ebay and haven't had a problem with them, but they weren't that cheap. But a good thing to keep in the back of your mind when you are buying mods for your car is that you get for what you pay for!
