mine still have the coating after two years, there is nothing wrong with pacesetter

 

Fine dont buy quality.... Im sure a junk yard has some old pipe you can bend and weld together and make a nice set

 

i have had my pacesetters for about 5 years and havent had a problem with them neither. fitment issues with GTO's that i dont know. with F-body's. i didnt have any problems installing them or any fitment issues. here is a pic of mine. the car is a DD and has 194K and probably 60K on the headers.

 

Had mine for 2 years and they still look good....coated of course...justinws6 what are you a child lol geez man. You just got Wong on here saying pacesetters are fine then you go say that haha

 

I heard pacesetter actually gets all their piping from junkyarded third gen exhaust tubing

 

PaceSetters are notorious for rusting
as well as there flanges never sealing to the head

K00KS are about as good as it gets
(I've had mine on for about 4 years / 55K miles, no leaks)


if you do go with pacesetters (or any non SS tubing)
make sure to get coated
I'd just go SLP then

 

I bought my coated 1 3/4 pacesetters for my 99 WS6 about 2 1/2 years ago....they still look great and affordable. This car has been my daily driver and the only places it's starting to discolor is at the bottom of the collectors. From all the water and road trash getting on them...but who's gonna see that but me. These headers work great on my bone stock LS1. Gave me an extra 35 rear wheel horsepower. Huge cam and heads....yeah, I'd go with the 1 7/8 headers too.

 

Here is my dyno with the 1 7/8 kooks and kooks true duals on stock short block 346 cu. i just started a thread with all the info in dyno section
