Default pic request!! please show me your longtubes!

i posted up another thread asking about headers for my 2500, i searched and searched but cant seem to find a thread with the results im looking for now .. after reading alot i see that people are having issues with the pacesetter ceramic coated LT's rusting out after a year or more. and considering the truck does see water from rain down here in southeast ga that would be a issue. which also makes me a little upset due to the fact i found this out after already purchasing a set for my sierra. i was thinking of the stainless ones from ebay but they only have a 2.5" collector which seems small considering pacesetter's is 3"

so if you will please post a pic of your LT's and how long youve had them on your truck and brand.

trying to decide my options before spending money like i did with my sierra, which i may end up selling my pacesetters and geting a different set as i havent had time to install them yet depending on feedback ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, even if its just a link to make me do more reading!

Stainless works. IMO one of the nicest stainless headers made for the trucks..

i got them from lpparts.com and apparently they are just back ordered for a while or something i ordered mine two to three weeks ago and they had them in stock and they were on sale for 450.00 instead of 500.00 so if your interested in them i would just e-mail carl at lpparts@verison.net and see what the deal is

You wont have to worry about rust seeeing that you live in georgia. I'm assuming you got the pacesetters coated? The rust is a issue with the north guys because of the salt they use on the roads during the winters. Pacesetters are best bang for the buck or the e-bay specials.
