Looking at pacesetter mids and ORY (94-95) and a custom S-pipe to go on my 96. How much power am I sacrificing if I get these and NOT longtubes and ORY. Reason being, the mids are dirt cheap.

 

You'll still see some good gains with the mids, maybe not as much as the long tubes, but still very modest gains.

 

I've also heard good things about the MAC mid-length headers, if you want to look into those as well. Not sure about the price differences between the two. But i was very pleased with mine

as for the difference, i've always heard longtubes are better, but mids are the next best thing when emissions come in to play

 

dude if ur gonna be installing em mineaswell install longtubes and get it over with...because i dn bout u but i am never satisfied when it comes to power

 

EXACTLY!

 

Peak, its about 10 hp difference depending on the combo. The LTs give more power under the curve too.

Good ET's and power have been made with both.

 

if u get mids, get MAC mids

 

Pretty sure I can get Pacesetter LTs and Y pipe for what Mac Mids cost. I'm exclusively looking at Pacesetter mids cause they are only 253 bucks. That's about as cheap as you can get... I've seen rusty used shorties (BBK, SLP, Edelbrock, etc.) with no gaskets, Y pipe, or hardware sell on ebay for more than that.

 

are the pacesetters coated? I would not touch anything that is non-coated

 

about $100 more will get u longtubes..... come on man this is the kinda thing ur gonna be kickin urself for down the road u kno that!

 

Ho Hum I guess you guys are right. Long tubes it is.

 

Yea thats the same boat im in right now im in the middle of swicthing out my hooker shorties for long tubes!!!

 

The Mac mids are a great bang for the buck. They can make excellent power too. If you need a set, drop us a note at sales@fasttoys.net. Mention you are a Camaroz28.com member and we can offer you some great pricing.

 

Just placed order for coated pacesetter lt's and y-pipe. Customssi...505$ shipped. Not bad.

 

Pacesetter mids are garbagei had them on my old 97...if your gonna go mids go mac or slp
