Just wanted to know what you guys think of them. The headers and also if the Y-pipe is any good.

They are so cheap it is hard to resist. You can get the headers AND y-pipe on ebay for almost the same price as just a set of Hookers.

I want to know if any of you switched from shorties over to these and if you felt any real power gains.

Thanks.

 

i have a set, but there not on my car yet, but tell you what they sure do look perty!!

 

I love mine.....install was a breeze. All I had to modify was an A/C line which needed some bending but that's common. No motor jacking or anything like that....and the gains are awesome. I went from 13.6@101 in 50 degrees to 13.4@103 in 80 degrees

 

Did you go from stock manifolds to the Pacesetters or from shorties to the longtubes???

 

Stock manifolds, dual cats...

 

how big are they.

 

1 3/4 primaries, 3" collectors...

 

 

seen a few on LT1's and havent heard much complaint. The LS1 guys seem to like em too.

my buddy has them on his 98 Z and he has no complaints. they do tend to rub on the k-member a little though.

but you cant beat the price!!!!

 

take this for what u will, i dynoed 264 rwhp 298 rwtq on an 80 degree day, changed nothing except pacesetter LTs and y pipe and left it open after the y and put down 291.0 rwhp 324.4 rwtq on a 97 degree day, i think the numbers speak for themselves

 

Don't say this too loud...but I heard Hooker and Pace setters are the same...anyone else heard that? (this was the LS1's I heard that about).

 

brent94z, did a nice photo comparison from every angle, and also weighed them.

his conclusion: pacesetters seem to be better than hookers pretty much across the boards. this was done through visual inspection of materials used, craftsmanship, etc.

of course 1 header might dyno .3 hp more than the other some might say. well i would consider them equal for now. ill be ordering coated pacesetter LT in just a short while, ill keep you guys posted.

oh also--installation is supposed to be much easier with pacesetter. hooker better step it up a little or drop their price

 

How is ground clearance with these and how is plug access.better than stock access?? and how much ticking do you notice with these longtubes on the car..??

 

From what I hear the ground clearance is as good as it gets for LTs, I am planning on getting a set of these coated soon :-)

 

where is everyone buying these? i would like a set. Is install difficult? Thanks, Nick
