Default Header poll

I really need a set of headers for my truck. It is my daily driver so i want a quality product that will last for a long time and still make good power with no leeks. I am torn in between Stainless Works and Pacesetter and nice some help making the decision.

if you drive in the snow all the time you might want to go stainless. depends if they use sand or salt on the roads.

The truck does not see any snow. It gets put away for the winter and out comes my 1992 lumina z34.

I'm very happy with my StainlessWorks....they're listed for 03 and up, but they just fit my 99 4x4.

I vote Dynatechs. I can't say anything bad about Stainless Works though. I own the Dynatechs and will vouch for their high quality, fit, finish, and stainless steel material.
If I were you, get a stainless steel header system. Better longevity and will stay looking nice.
Whichever header system you decide to use, I stress on having them have the headers ceramic coated before shipping them to you.
None of the above mentioned headers come ceramic coated. The coating on the Pacesetters will come off in a week or so.

StainlessWorks hands down. The Pacesetters will not last!!! They will end up looking like your stock rusty manifolds. Then rust through in spots.

I agree. I put a set of mild steel headers on my old Sonoma and they rusted through from the inside in 5 years. I wouldn't buy a header unless it's stainless.

I voted other....for Dynatechs. I have a set and they look great. Can't say much else about them yet, as they are still in the box they came in Sooner or later I might be able to tell you how they fit and perform
