Well after going to the track these last couple of weeks I think that I need to go ahead and order some headers to help myself out with my top end. I slaughter people off the line but they end up coming back at me. So I think I am looking at ordering Pacesetter Headers($289) and the Pacesetter y-pipe($125). I saw the coated pacesetter headers today and they look really good.

I raced a guy with a m6 with Moroso intake, 1le elbow, Pacesetter Lt's and y-pipe with open headers and he beat me. I pulled on him a good 1.5 car lengths but he just had the extra hp from the pacesetter lt's to come back on me and beat me, I was at his rear tire.

Would it be alright to get the uncoated headers and y-pipe since I live in a desert with almost no humidity. As well I can use the slp s-pipe to connect the y-pipe to my hooker catback right??

 

They're still going to rust, regardless. But they'll last through 10 years of rust, so go ahead. You'll need a Y pipe, not an S pipe. Your catback will need to be cut, and your Y-pipe bolted with flanges, or welded to the catback.

 

I would get them coated, that would also lower your underhood temps alot and help with heat soak.

 

Yeah, exactly what I was going to say. They may not rust too bad, but in the desert, with uncoated headers, your temps are going to be

Well I do have the fan swith installed as well as a 160 t-stat and the car temperature never rises above 185, I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

 

Your fan switch won't help with underhood temps caused by the heat radiation from the headers. Coated ones won't radiate as much heat.

 

Anybody here have uncoate headers???

 

uncoated headers kill ur ac

 

I have uncoated edelbrock shorties and I dont want to go into how many times Ive dealt with burning plug wires.. they get ridiculously hot..

 

I have uncoated headers. Theres spots of surface rust on them, but nothign that cant be easily cleaned up. Ive never burnt a plug wire, but they do get hot.
