Default pacesetter vs. gibson

i have a set of pacesetter shortys and a set of gibson shortys, which set is going to give me the best power? the gibsons look better so if the performance factor doesnt make up my mind that will. thanks

i am going to stick with one of these sets for now, i got a good deal on the pacesetters and stole the gibsons. put it this way, i got both sets of headers for less than half the price of a set of summit brand shorty headers.

As mentioned above, the performance gains will be minimal, but as far a quality goes, I ran Gibson stainless shorties for 5 years and was very pleased with the quality of them. They quickly got some surface rust, but that was it. They were as solid as day 1 when I ditched them for some nice StainlessWorks LT's w/ catted y-pipe.

I paid $67.50 shipped for a brand new set of pacesetter longtubes off ebay and I paid $150 for the set I have on my truck now
