What headers are you talking about? I have the el cheapo ebay headers and I have had good luck so far

i dont mean everyone, but most, especially if its your first time, no offense

Just do a good install! check your wires and listen for leaks. Wrapping the crappy ones works good too.

yes i agree the pacesetter ory sucks!!

**metalmechanic** · 05-31-2009, 09:17 PM

anyone want to buy my kooks, ill sell them for what i paid plus installation plus removal

**0rion** · 06-01-2009, 09:13 PM

99% of the header issues I see are user/installer error. I read far more times of people having good luck with pacesetter and obx headers.

**c5z28** · 06-01-2009, 10:09 PM

So what the hell was the problem?

**99_Z28** · 06-02-2009, 03:24 AM

Cheap ass mac headers here, no problems yet.

**Mr.Lee** · 06-03-2009, 10:02 PM

pacesetter black painted and ory no problems yet...but the ory does kinda suck tho...clearance issuee...keeps hitting the body but a big ass crow bar took car of that..

**nhraformula** · 06-04-2009, 04:17 AM

pacesetter headers owner here. While i did have a problem with the y pipe banging on the floor board when i goosed it, that was easily fixed by heating up the pipes and slightly bending them downwards.

the biggest thing people forget to do..is install poly engine mounts...this will fix almost all Y pipe issues...i will be doing mine when i get headers

**m1a2d3** · 06-04-2009, 06:39 AM

how do the poly mounts help and where did you buy them

they are more rigid..so they dont allow the exhaust alot of play as the oem rubber ones do.. since the exhaust is hooked to the engine...extra vibration/movement the engine does..gets amplified to the exhaust..and with bigger diameter pipes etc ..the clearance for that movement is greatly reduced..you can pick up engine mounts from any online store..i go to ws6store.com for the majority of my stuff..but they arent our sponsors so i am forced to tell you to visit one of our many fine sponsors for your solution

It's funny, because if you go to their site the bottom right lists ls1.com as a site they sponsor.

what up with that I wonder?
