Kooks are better fitment, quality and more power from what I understand. ( customer service sucks) You are talking around $1200-$1400 for headers and y-pipe. That will do you NO GOOD if you cant afford it. If you can, then go for it. I am choosing coated Pacesetters and catted y from TSP for $700. Just my opinion.

Pacesetter dont "suck" they are actually a very decent header, Kooks are one of the best ur paying for quality and fit, kooks have real nice thick welds and fit great cause they are a "Custom" header. I went with SLP nice quality!.....but HORRIBLE fitment, and clearance tho.

My Pacesetters fit up pretty well. Allot better than the MACS on my old Z.
If you've got an extra $500 to waste then yeah go with Kooks and gain maybe an extra 2-4 RWHP over the Pacesetters

you dont really get much more RWHP, just longer life thanks to stainless construction. Not a big deal though in Texas I think to get coated pacesetters compared to Kooks since we arent in Michigan or New Jersey. Goodluck

yeah im getting noncoated pacesetters and sending them through a shop in DFW to get jethot coated, be truly custom headers, and there will be flanges on the headers before they are coated... im getting my headers for 280+ 325 get them prepped and jethot coated (prepped=all emissions bungs welded shut and flanges added) then for another 500 bucks true duals dumped at the axles, so for the price of just the kooks headers i will have a complete exhuast setup that has jethot coated headers and custom fabricated exhuast
just depends on where you want to spend the money
