I just gave them a call, to see what a setup for my truck would be. For my nnbs 5.3 they priced them to me at $1470.00. Sounds high to me, I can get a set of dynatechs or JBAs for cheaper than that.

Always good to get your foot in the door early when a new model comes out. In 4 or 5 years there will likely be more 08+ trucks on here than 99-07.

One thing they got on everyone else is that they offer a 1 7/8" primary which will work well for some of the people with big ci engines or blowers.

I THINK the headers themselves will fit from old to new style but, don't quote me on that. Maybe one of you guys with a NBS could work something out for test fitting a set for them, dunno if they do that but, wouldn't hurt to ask.

Wheeew 1500 is def a lot of money for headers . I think ima try a different route..

Good luck, btw they are very nice looking headers, just tooo steep for me..

I am sure the 1470 is with cats. A lot of us will opt for the offroad pipe. I am veryinterested in these headers because they are 304 stainless, 1 7/8 primaries and fit and finish is a lot better then pacesetters. Only header available to us that is equal would be f-body kooks headers which require a custom y pipe and a little bit of hammer action. I think its a good deal. I will be in line when the ones for NBS trucks comes out.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get the pacesetter's properly coated? I'm not interested in having to remove them in 2 years because they rusted out. I was gonna go with OBX headers but Rick @ Synergy called them garbage.
