Pacesetter VS. Hooker

**dphillips1984** · 08-10-2008, 09:33 PM

About to invest in LTs and I was just wondering if there was a performance diff. in Pacesetters and Hookers, or if the price is the only diff?

I would get Pacesetter ceramics, Best bang for your buck and the fittment is outstanding.

**dphillips1984** · 08-10-2008, 09:56 PM

asside from the way they fit, do you know the performance difference??

**JwMonE99** · 08-10-2008, 10:16 PM

Anyone use the black painted ones?

No performance difference

Don't buy the black ones they will rust out and look shitty in no time. Spend the extra $100 and get the ceramic coated ones. You'll thank me you did.

all long tubes perform about the same.
pacesetters rock!

+1 on the pacesetters man. Best bang for the buck and don't look bad either.

The other day I put on pacesetter long tube headers, x pipe, catless and dumped before the axel with flowmaster bullut mufflers and I love them.

My thoughts exactly....you definately DON'T get what you pay for with SLP headers....and they are some of the most expensive...

Ya gotta love Hookers!! I have the whole sytem including muffler and love the way they sound and form past experience they will last for years to come. ( Ceramic coated)! Don't buy painted ones they won't last.
Never owned pacesetters, but Hookers have always fit right and if the primaries and collectors are the same I guess I'd still up for Hooker~~

Pacesetter ceramic's FTMFW. I love mine, they fit great

**nhraformula** · 08-15-2008, 10:01 AM

ive had my pacesetters for over 4 years now and barely any rust.
pacesetters have think flanges and really good welds. overall the quality is top notch.

**grouch0jr** · 08-15-2008, 05:42 PM

i just installed hookers on my car a couple days ago, the fit is great. i went with hooker because they were available in stainless steel.
