Re: So which headers are the ticket
Probably not much of a difference between the two other then price, with the Pacesetters usually being the cheaper ones. Both brands have a loyal following on this board so you can't go wrong either way in my opinion.

Jet-Hot and Pacesetter compared:
1. Pacesetters are cheaper (P + 1)
2. Jet-Hots have higher quality welds (J + 1)
3. Sterling coating outperforms ceramic (J + 1)
4. Jet-Hots have a flange instead of slip-fit (J + 1)
5. Pacesetter has terrible quality control on their headers mounting or not mounting flush (and thus creating exhaust leaks) (J + 1)
P = 1
J = 4
In my mind, the price doesn't outweight Jet-Hot's advantages.
