try to find the 5.3 ones or you will have to true dual it, IMO pacesetter are better, you will have to get wire protectors or the driver side header will melt the plug wires.

I purchased my headers on Ebay from that vendor about a year ago. At the time they did not have a listing for the 5.3 liter headers, but I emailed them and they still had some in stock.
I have been very pleased with my set. I haven't had any problems, and they still look great. I did have to put wire protectors on though. I also tywrapped a stiff piece of copper wire to each plug wire that was touching the header pipes. I then slid the wire protectors on to the spark plug wires. I was then able to shape my plug wires to keep them off the headers.

I ordered mine off e-bay but not from that same dealer.
It took mine a long time to ship, but I think becuase I ordered them right around Christmas/New Years.

I got mine from that guy too. Got them in a timely manner even though UPS destroyed the box and lost the collector bolts. I filed a claim with UPS and the seller refunded $50 back to me for the trouble. Here is a link to the 5.3l headers.
