    i see zzp has pacesetter headers for only $380 but it says that they have a leak on the "y" pipe but zzp says if you buy their version for $45 more it doesnt leak. Can anyone give me any info on them if they are good, bad ect. thanks. its for a 04 gtp

    My pacesetter headers will arrive on Monday hopefully, and their for an 04 gtp as well. It doesn't have the ZZP Kit, but i did buy a better gasket for the downpipe, and will be picking up band clamps to seal up the leaky y pipe. I hear the EGR also is the wrong size on these, but i am going to try and make it fit and use rtv to seal it up. I will let you know how the install goes, but i will likely have to wait until i get a weekend with 3+ days off because if i do something wrong(Quite likely to happen lol) i will not have a car, and i have to drive to school, but hopefully ill put them in next weekend!

    as a pacesetter user, guys please search about pacesetters and welding. You be glad you did the research. However, if they are new.. you won't have my experience ( previous owner beat them up pretty bad)

    Speed daddy headers are easier on the wallet (search ebay and this forum) by the way.

    Good luck with your adventure!

    if you want pacesetters to not leak, then welding is your best bet, but that kinda makes the EGR unpossible.

    WEll, there is a good possiblility i will get my headers welded, but i have a question about that. Do you assemble and bolt the whole thing together first, and then have it welded, or does it have to be welded while putting it on? I don't have access to a welder in my garage, and im not a great welder to start with so if i can get it all bolted together, then should i just take it to a welding shop to get them welded? Thanks. Also if i don't want it welded should i just get 2.5" band clamps, some 2 inch grade 8 bolts (because i hear the ones it come with are too short)?

    you cant weld it when its on the car but you need to tack it while its on so that you get the proper alignment.
