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.

^ thats what i got :yup:

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

no problems with pacesetters here

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

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.

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

Pacesetters. :thumbup: 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

QTP has excellent clearance

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.
