stainless doesn't rust...period.

standard headers can rust, even coated they can chip and then rust.

Re: Hooker or Pacesetter

I got the Hookers, no particular reason other than they've been around a long time and now I can say I've got hookers in my car.

Re: Hooker or Pacesetter

Save your money and get the QTP stainless headers. Do it right the first time.

Re: Hooker or Pacesetter

Get KOOKs, stainless steel = the best and kooks makes a large steped header. I have pace setters, they are crap...they were on the car when I got them so I didn't have a choice. They are a year old and all the coating is coming off, the y pipe changes sizes and the welds on the headers are terrible. You get what you pay for, if they can sell parts for half the price of other companies theres reasons for it...cheaper materials.
