Are Pacesetter headers worth even buying? I know they are the cheapest headers out there but should anyone even spend the money on them? or spend a couple hundred extra and get a good name header?

 

pacesetter is a good header brand.they are very similar to hooker.i know some people do have fitment issues with them, but if youre that worried go with a different brand.

 

Some people really like Pacesetter, some people hate them. I would personally spend an extra $50 and go for some Dynatech's over coated Pacesetters, but apparently that's just me.

 

thanks for the replies.. I think im leaning towards jet hots or hooker if any have opinions on the 2 i would like to hear.. and also is it necessary to have the same brand y pipe as the header?

 

its more than a 50 dollar diff isnt it?

I got a coated pacesetter and 3" midpipe shipped to my door for $500, thats about the cost of the dyna's themselves isnt it? I dont wanna go look it up lol.

on the ls1, the pacesetters fit very well. only thing I had to do was loosen 1 bolt on the drivers side motor mount to lift the motor about a half inch, but otherwise there was no notching or anything involved. Whole swap only took a few hours, and was 1 bazillion times easier than doing it on my old mustang.

pacesetters get specter's stamp of approval




EDIT: its usually best to keep the ypipe and header the same, or at least built to the same. I use a TSP ypipe, which is built to fit the pacesetters (well, its a 5 piece so it will fit about anything by twisting the parts around) and everything bolted up just fine.

 

On Summit Racing the Dynatech's are about $50 more than coated Pacesetter's for the LT1...that's just the headers for both. I'm sure you could get a Y-pipe to fit either of them. I can't find just the Dynatech headers for an LS1, all I can find is the whole Header/Y-pipe with cat combo.

 

ive only heard about fitment issue's on lt1s,havent heard any bad stories on ls1s

 

Truth.

On lt1's it's a good idea to splurge a little bit and avoid the pacesetters, since a hammer is usually involved to get them to fit. But on the ls1's I've never heard of issues either. I'd actually say they're a good buy for the ls1.

 

Just check the warranty info if it cracks I think you can get a new one?
