When I was in the market for Long Tubes, I contacted Hooker (my preferred exhaust manufacturer ), they told me they do not have an offering for the trucks, let alone the 4x4s. I would have purchased their headers and exhaust if they offered a complete package. FYI, the 2WD pacesetter headers have been replaced by the 4WD headers, they are very identical.

 

mine went in without any problems, o2 were fine, fitment was great!!!!

awesome quality

 

They do now with a y-pipe.

Part #'s 2850 and 2851.

When I had my Paces id say over a year ago. They were the shittiest things I ever layed my hands on. I rated them with FLowtech. Now maybe they changed and decided to up the quality of their stuff. I dont see much of it move at work. Stuff I do see is just the painted headers. But from pics and input guys post about these headers on the forums. Along with f-body guys. The coating still seems to sucks major ***. If im putting headers on my truck I am in no way looking to take them off in a year to have them recoated because rust is coming through.

 

F'ing bastards! I much prefer Hooker coated long tubes by Jet-Hot, same as I have on my 2001 Camaro SS. They have been on since 2003 and still look good. Thanks for the info. The coating reason is why I stick to Jet-Hot, I have used them extensively and they have never disappointed me.

Contemplating switching to Hooker LTs.

CORRECTION:
2850 = Shorty 1-5/8"
2851 = Long Tube 1-3/4"
16786 = Long Tube (p/n: 2851) Off-Road Y-Pipe

 

I just installed the 4X4 pacesetters on my truck and had to massage the driver’s side header just a little to clear the front drive shaft. It almost cleared, but I had to hammer the 3rd primary about 1/8 an inch (about the size if a nickel dent). Now it clears just fine, but I don’t know what will happen when I put the lift kit on.

 

Pray for little to no Engine flex....that's about all you can do!
