i mean...id love those but i really cant afford 1000 bucks for headers then 400 for install you know?? any other brands u heard of with good clearance?

Get Pacesetters and call it good.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 04-21-2007, 02:15 PM

^ thats what i got

**BlackLT1Z28** · 04-21-2007, 03:46 PM

Definately nothing wrong with pacesetters. 90% of the people who don't have Kooks/QTP's have Pacesetters.

**nhraformula** · 04-22-2007, 05:35 AM

no problems with pacesetters here

**Anthracis** · 04-22-2007, 06:44 AM

go pacesetters or anything other than SLP.

i mean i now pacesetters are good performance wise ...im basically just talking clearance wise...dont wanna scrap 'em up with the prokit drop... i know slps are the worst clearance ever in the history of ever and i would never buy them...looks like im torn between pacestter long-tubes and mac mids.... again clearance wise... if i can do the longtubes and not ruin them id like to go that way..lemme know

**00maroz28** · 04-22-2007, 07:24 PM

by the way they are almost identical in price for the headers and ory package... like 525$

i had the same problem as you. i was torn between mac and pacesetter.
needless to say, i have pacesetters and have never bottomed out.

**tonyjnjz** · 04-23-2007, 05:48 AM

are pacesetters 1 5/8ths or 1 3/4ths???? i know kooks, qtp, dynatech are all 1 3/4ths with options to go ever bigger with kooks to 1 7/8ths......this is one reason to go with a more expensive stainless header if your making some good power.......at least so i think if paces are 1 5/8ths

**jag42420** · 04-23-2007, 07:53 AM

Pacesetters.

Depending where you look, some sites rate them as 1 5/8" http://www.pacesetterexhaust.com/camaro.htm and others list 1 3/4". Probably comes in both sizes, depending on what part # you order. I ordered the 1 3/4".

"Pace Setter
Pace Setter Headers
Starting with 3/8"-thick steel plate and 1-3/4"-diameter carbon steel alloy tubing, each header is precision-crafted to insure proper fit and seal. The mandrel-bent tubing insures maximum flow to the 3"-diameter collector and on into the mandrel-bent Y-pipe. These headers replace the stock cast iron exhaust manifolds and have provisions for all smog and engine management hook-ups. Each pair is available with the standard black paint and optional ARMOR*Coat, our polished metallic-ceramic finish. Includes fasteners and gaskets."

aahh thanks for the link.....now i understand my confusion as they come in BOTH sizes

**9t8z28** · 04-23-2007, 08:17 AM

QTP has excellent clearance

**yellowv** · 04-23-2007, 10:27 AM

With my Pacesetters I can almost slide a beer can under the collector without it hitting. The Y pipe comes down just a bit lower so you should have no problems with Pacesetters and a drop.
