Default Which Headers for my 99 z28?
I was looking on summit and wondering if any one has used these headers I was originally going to get pacesetters but wondering if these are any better or worse. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks

I don't see too many people running these but they are cheap as hell. The primary size is smaller than the pacesetters though. (1 3/4" for PS)

There are much better options available to you. You want 1 3/4 primaries and those only have 1 5/8. The two mentioned above (Pacesetters and LPP) are both very popular options. The pacesetters are cheaper but are coated steel as opposed to stainless.

Get Pacesetters if you on a budget, Kooks / LPP / ARH if you want headers that will outlast you car and fit great.

Fitment is an issue with LPP. A primary tends to rest on the motor mount and grinding on the K-member is a necessity in many cases.

When it comes to headers, you pretty much get what you pay for. I think Kooks and ARH make some of the nicest headers.

Also if you are on a budget look into BBK headers, and they come with the y-pipe. They are at Summit as well.
