Hey guys, I've had my car for 14 years and decided it was time to put on a set of headers. I was looking on ebay and found OBX, Pacesetter, and then some cheaper no name headers. Which ones should I get?
Thanks,
Brian

I run the Pacesetter LT's and the off road y and its been good. The next set I get will be Jet coated for sure. These didnt take long to rust up. The install and fit was nice and I did notice a small power gain.
I run Jet Hot long tubes and a 3" Hooker ORY.
Nice fitment. Just a little rust on the bottom.
Bought the headers and y pipe used for $300 and it came with a few other goodies as well.

My pacesetters rusted bad. I just installed the no name eBay stainless headers and I'm pretty happy with them. Fitment could be better, but for the price I think they were worth it

Ive ran hooker shorties and Pacesetter longtubes. I installed the pacesetters. They went in ok, just like any other set I guess. I didnt have to dent them or grind anything from what I remember. They werent the coated ones so the finish came off and they got a little surface rust but not bad at all for the year I ran them before selling the car.
The hookers were already installed when I bought the car. They were rusted bad but didnt leak. Didnt rattle or anything but the plug access was lot better than the pacesetters. Plug access wasnt good at all on the pacesetters.
If and when I do headers on my current car I will go with the ebay stainless. I know they need some massaging but for under 300 bucks, you cant go wrong. And stainless is just so damn purdy.

Thanks for the replys guys. Now which ebay stainless headers is everyone getting? All of the threads that I pull up here when I do a search show ebay sales that are no longer listed.
