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
03-10-2009
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.Originally Posted by iamwhutiam003

smaller, longer primaries are the best.
03-10-2009
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
03-10-2009
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?
03-11-2009
Has anyone tried expanding the pipes that go into the Y to make a better fit?
03-11-2009
ZZP does that if you buy it from them.
03-11-2009
I got it done at the local muffler shop for free. But it still dod not help me much.
03-11-2009
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.
03-11-2009
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!
03-11-2009
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.....
03-11-2009
you could get away with a 3.4 probably... just make sure you scan
03-11-2009
They were like 11.00 each at napa i think. Stainless.
03-11-2009
Scan
03-11-2009
ok then the aeroforce shall tell my fate i think im gonna go modular and just get a 3.4 and then i can drop later...
03-11-2009
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.
