pace setters

if im on a budget are these good headers? can i get away with non coated? and i heard the Y leaks but will good clamping and a shyt load of rtv fix that? lemme know because im ordering them soon....

Pacesetters are ok if you don't mind leaks. There good headers except where the y- pipe connects together. You'll need different clamps for sure.

will the clamps fix my prob and am i better off going 1 5/8 primaries if i only plan to mildly mod

The clamps will help. But they did not fix my problem. Yeah I think they do make a bigger 1 3/4 size now huh? You'll be fine with the smaller ones.

 

[Bio248]

smaller, longer primaries are the best.

There is nothing wrong with the pacesetter's. Primary size is up to you. Get some new clamps from Sinister Drag Designs - Chicagolands new performance specialist! these clamps were designed to fix all the comon problems with the headers sealing properly (Im not sure if they have clamps available for both 1-3/4 and 1-5/8's though)

ZZP also sells an install kit where they modified the header tube to fix the issue

so yes get them if i dont get coated will they look like shyt after a short amount of time i was just gonna wrap em or paint them?

Has anyone tried expanding the pipes that go into the Y to make a better fit?

ZZP does that if you buy it from them.

I got it done at the local muffler shop for free. But it still dod not help me much.

i found a deal they are 2000 deg ceramic coated and have the zzp pro kit with 1000 miles on them for 350....then ill just get SDD clamps and gaskets...you think ill be happy they are 1 3/4 primaries but ive heard gtps shouldnt have a rpoblem running these over 1 5/8 thats its more the N/A motors that need to be careful right?

FWIW you can go to napa or most anywhere local and just asked for a stepped band clamp. You need one that measures 2/ 1/2 on one end and 3'' on the other.

thanks for the info man ill prob do that its cheaper right? hey im tkaing your dp out tomm morning to ship it you by the way!

 

[gotboost3]

you guys think i can run a 3.3 pulley with a pcm and colder stat? or should i just throw a 3.4 since the headers will prob let me safely run a 3.5 or 3.4.....

 

[2000GTP]

you could get away with a 3.4 probably... just make sure you scan

They were like 11.00 each at napa i think. Stainless.

man car does just fine with the large primaries. no coated my paint melted INSTANTLY. you might wanna go with coated. i think there great headers for the price and with the clamps.
