Looking for people who own(ed) PaceSetter LT's/Y-Pipe. (College budget setup)

[Cerwin Vega Fan]

Hello,

I'm sure some of you have seen my post on here before asking about headers and what not. Well, currently I'm in college and with paying for tutuion/books money is pretty tight for me. I still however want to continue modding my car and the next thing on my list is headers. I want to run coated LT's on my 95 LT1 Camaro and after crunching the numbers for a whole setup, headers like Kooks, DynaTech, and Jet Hot are just out of my budget. I'm seeing a few sites right now are running specials and I can get my hands on a set of coated Pacesetter LT's with the Y-Pipe for less than $520 (before shipping). My question is can someone give me some info on these headers? Anything like quality, fitment issues, ground clearance, and just about anything else would be appreciated. I know I'm kind of looking at the bottom of the LT bucket here but more expensive headers are just something I cannot afford right now.

Thanks,

Chris

hey there man well i have pacesetter lt's on my 97 ss ang i love them. no prob at all. i was to on a budget at one point so i opted for the painted ones and they ran me 285. and i did get a y-pipe with for an extra 150 bucks. but when i went to put everything on i changed my mind and went the x-pipe route with true dual setup with 2 slp loudmouth resonators and it sounds evil. well i kow the coated headers are better but hey the painted ones i have had on for 6-7 months now and have no rust issues at all. but anyway i still have that y-pipe if interested for 100.00 maybe that would save you some cash.

Will the Y-Pipe for a 97 Camaro work with a 95 setup? I'm just wondering cause form the factory our cars had different exhaust setups.

i believe it will if you wanna check on that. but i am pretty sure. i believe the only diff was i had 2 cats and you have 1

I have pacsetter long tubes on my 93' the ceramic coated ones, paid 560.00 on ebay with y-pipe and shipping included. I love them, easy to install, good ground clearance, but I never lowered my car. and they sound great, but of course I took out my cat, and have a slowmaster muffler, but the way they fit were perfect..the muffler shop could not believe the build quaility, they said the flange was one of the thickest they ever seen on a header,,had on for 6-months now no problems...You will love them...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will I have do anything different for my install since I have a convertible? Will SFC's get in the way?

I've had Pacesetters for a couple of years now, and have had no problems at all.

Yeah the Pacesetter's work fine, I have them on my 94' Z with the off-road y-pipe and hooker exhaust. Sounds great, especially with a nice cam in it.
