The price is right and they get the job done. PROS- excellent ground clearance and price. CONS- Average to poor quality.

Like I said, they get the job done. They've been on 10 months or so, and there's spotty rust on them (yes, they're coated). The flange on the drivers side was bowed 1/4 inch in the middle. There was a lot of weld spatter inside the primaries. But hey, they were cheap, and that was my main focus.

I've had Pacesetter LT's for a year and no rust yet. The quality was actually very good. Yes they are a pain to install, as are all LT's. Here are a couple of links explaining how to do it.

I got them and I thought they were the easiest header I've ever installed. Didnt even have to pull the motor off its mounts. I've installed two sets now and both were pretty good quality. All you have to pull is the oil filter, starter, dip stick, and steering shaft. Just make sure the front of the car is jacked up high so you can slide the headers in.

The y-pipe for the Pacesetter long tubes will change the placement of the cat by quite a bit. Do you have to pass a sniffer test?
