I have a 96 camaro ss and I have been thinking about buying some pacesetter headers but I dont know which kind is best. Also I am wanting to put on a magnaflow exhaust system with the headers. Am I going to have to buy a y-pipe or new cats to make it work? I was wondering what everyone thought.

 

long tube headers are the best for performance and they do reqire a y pipe. what state do you live in? check and make sure what you want to do is legal. example, long tube headers are not legal in california

 

well I live in texas so I dont think it'll be a problem. Can I use the stock Cats still if i wanted?

 

you could if you built your own y pipe but im not sure how stock cats flow, other than that, no as far as i know for long tube headers you have to get a catted y. the shorty headers bolt up to a stock exhaust so you could use the stock cats, keep in mind the gains from shorty headers are minimal.

 

I have a question similar to this. I just bought longtube pacesetter headers with the y-pipe for a 96 Z28 LT1. My question is that I don't want the cats on there anymore but this car has 4 o2 sensors on it. The longtubes have holes for the front ones but what about the other two sensors? I don't want this car to run like trash either and I know it will need a tune once they are installed but what steps should I take?

 

the rear sensors are for monitoring the cats so they are no longer needed, you will have to have them tuned out or you will have a ses light on all the time.

 

Pacesetter brand = crappy fitment and the welds crack. GL

 

I got Pacesetters and they look really good and well made.

 

I've had a set of Pacesetters for 3 years now. Welds look fine and haven't cracked and fit without any problems lol.

 

What car did you install these pacesetters on? Or is this one of those friend of a friends situation?
