pacesetters are great.
with the money you save compared to kooks, you can do other mods.
i have pacesetters and could not be more happy

Your call.
Spare money sitting around?? Go Kooks.
Want to save a bit and get the same performance?? Go Pacesetter.

The big selling point of the Kooks is the stainless steel. They will outlast the car.

who is better MacPro or Jethot?

They look about the same, nor Mac claims the way their tube bends it is like a long tube setup.

**Mr. Luos** · 02-28-2007, 10:12 AM

Longtubes or bust.

I had jet hots and they were pretty easy to get in and out, never thought its be that easy! Not sure if the other brands are as easy to install or not, but having done my share of header installs on various cars, ease of install means alot!

one thing that is nice about the Macs you can use the stock o2 sensors, you dont have to do the corevette rear 02 swap or use extenders. The bungs are close enough to the heads to keep the 02 hot not to throw codes commonly seen with true long tubes.

pacesetters seem to be the common choice for value

if doing it right is overpaying, then you are correct

**Street Lethal** · 03-05-2007, 02:01 PM

I'm feeling the sarcasm lol....

Do the Kooks LTH's out-perform Pacesetter's, well, that question is really yet to be answered. Will the Kooks LTH's out-last tha Pacesetter's, yes. Do the Kooks LTH's require any modification, in reference to heating and bending of the tubing due to fitment issues, not on your life....

Now, I know that heating and bending tubing is relatively easy, and any local muffler shop can handle the job. I'm also aware that Pacesetter's perform very very well, for their respected price. But, just to reiterate what was originally emphasized;
