Guys I'm thinking about going with a set of Pacesetter long tubs with the off-road Y. I was just wondering if it would be a waste to go with the painted ones. I'm not looking to get every bit of power I can outta them. I'm just looking for a little more torque to pull my 33's. Also I've got an 03 5.3.

 

That paint, from what I've read on other member's experiences, burns off in the first few days. I would spend the extra cash for the coated headers

 

Get the coated, it will help with the O2s and heat. Don't know why, but I am sure someone will explain.

 

my paint came off within 30 min of me starting the truck after the install... my LT's and ORY with cutouts will be sent out to be jet-hot coated soon...

 

As cheap as they are coated why wouldn't you?

 

I say go coated i never heard of the paint stayin put like its supposed to.

 

I don't think it's "supposed" to stay on, I think they are sprayed to prevent rust and corrosion before installation...

If it was supposed to stay on, it would surely last longer than 30 minutes like silver-mod-o said his did.

 

Definitely coated...

 

coated...

 

Where can I find the best deal on them. So far cheapest I've found them is on ebay for like 430.
