Default hard time finding headers for 2013 5.3...

trying to find a decently priced kit with offroad y pipe for a friend. pacesetter looks like the way to go price wise but cant see any y pipes for 2013. i dont know why it would be that different from 2009...any ideas? thanks!

U get what u pay for. Pacesetter is good. I would go with stainless. I have dynatech and love the quality. Or if u have a good exhaust guy get him to build u what u want.

I have some calspeed on mine w/off road y pipe. They fit great and not one problem. They still look good after 2 years.

Hard to go wrong with the pacesetters. After a good header wrap job they work well. At over 600 N/A rwhp hp they will not flow enough with the small primaries being 1 3/4" but if your plan is to go FI then your headers will be more than adequate. The pacesetter still have very good weld quality, and the material seems to be decent as well ( I'm sure it's cheap steel), but it has been holding 650 rwhp in my truck with nitrous for 2 years and I am planning on keeping them till they fail. Lots of better companies out there for sure, but big money if your on a tighter budget looking to make big power gains. Go with them, hard to beat and won't be disappointed. The 3" ORY is a great addition and then cutting it back to a 4" diesel exhaust makes for "unlimited" flow and will support big hp and sounds awesome!
