Ebay or Pacesetter L/Ts Headers

I have both sets of headers but I can't make up my mind which header to use. The speed daddy headers look huge compared to the Pacesetters. But I dont like the way they wrapped around the starter. I know the pacesetters are going to fit better but they might not flow as well. Will the y-pipe from the speed daddy headers fit the Pacesetters ?

What do you guys think. Speed Daddy or PaceSetter

I havent had a problem with the pacesetter long tubes I have. A little close to the steering shaft. But really no big problems. I am not sure about flow compaired to others though beings I havent used any others with my car.

X2-I have the pacesetters and love them. I have nothing to compare them to, this is my first car with headers installed on it. The fitment is good too, no problems with the steering shaft or anything else. And I also wrapped them in fiberglass wrap. It helps a lot keeping the heat out from under the hood.

Re: Ebay or Pacesetter L/Ts Headers

I had both sets just like you. Right now I have the Ebay's on there, if it really doesnt matter which set you put on there I would go with the pacesetters for ease of install compared to the ebay headers. For me there was no difference in performance but the ebay headers look better and cool down alot faster.

I have the e-bay headers also from Speed Daddy. They look good and perform as well as any other headers that I have used in the past. Had no issue with the starter, but the Driverside header hit the steering shaft. I had to clean some of the fat from the shaft.

Did you use the same y pipe with both headers ?

With the pacesetters I used a summit y pipe that I cut up and put dual e-cutouts after the header then cats, and for the ebays Im using the y pipe that came with the kit. When I get more funds I'm goin back to the e-cutout and cat system I had before.

I went with the Speed Daddy headers. They were a pain in the *** but it was worth all the work. I think I'm going to build a 4inch cat back now.
