HEADERS!

[Freebeer187]

Ive been running around here for a while trying to get advice from you guys. Im just going to quite being a penny pincher and do it right. As of now im getting my LIM gasket taken care of. No new mods as of yet.

I want to run headers. I would like to get the Ebay headers (pacesetter knock offs) but I do not hear good things. Mind you this car is going be my daily driver so I will need something to keep up.

Heres some header deals I have found:

ZZP PaceSetters

$240 Shipped Ebay Headers

$330 Shipped Ebay Headers

$700 ZZP Headers

Thats what I have for now. Any suggestions?

Agreed!

Pacesetters suck to install, and IMHO the primaries are too big.

Pacesetters blow. I have a set but wouldn't sell them to anyone on this forum because i would feel bad.

Welded pacesetters knockoffs are the best option for price, performance, and reliability.

304 Stainless, less than 200 from ebay, will not leak if welded, etc.

Fuck SLP or ZZP or anything with those silly slip-fit joints. I'd say fuck Pacesetters for the same reason if it wasn't so easy to just weld them together for good and be done with it.

I already told you my opinion

I still have a hard time pulling the trigger on them just for the sake of their PITAness.

1/4 the cost of the ZZP SS(with a downpipe) made my decision very easy

I guess. I just look in my engine bay and see everything pushing up against shit unlike any other Wbody engine bay I have looked at. I hate installing headers.

Word, I figure after doing the heads in the driveway, headers will seem easy... Especially since all my exhaust manifold bolts were coated in anti-seize before re assembly

Who makes the easiest headers to install for the 3800?

SLP. There is one other brand... I think there called togs. Hard to find.

I installed my header first, then put the head on. :hsughwiggle:

I love how the front manifold looks 90% identical in all 3800 headers

 

[Freebeer187]

Oh "The other guys". Yeah ok those too

The rear SLP was the biggest bitch of them all IMO. So negative on SLPs. The TOG crossover was a PITA. Ive "heard" the ZZP ones are very damn easy, but no clue since no one around here is baller enough yet to buy them.
