Default Should I Get Pacesetters or LPP?

My truck is a '05 2wd GMC sierra rclb with a 4.8L and a4. Im leaning towards pacesetter cuz theyre cheaper and I live in AZ so rust aint an issue. Plus I dont care for the collectors on the LPP's

What do y'all think?

Pacesetters are poor compred to the LPPs. There's really nothing more to be said than that.

nope, exhaust leak has nothing to do with the header, but rather a bolt broken off in the head.

I always advise to purchase headers that have a flange on them. It seals better and is easier to install/uninstall. Also, stainless steel is another thing I always advise.

Lpp
I have pacesetters, and wish I would have saved my cash for something better.
Dynatech's are my next choice when I take these pacesetters off.

Dynas are nice, that's what I run. If you're wanting to save some money, I'm almost positive that the OBX Y pipe (or duals setup) will bolt right up to the Dynatech headers.

I would have to say coated pacesetter's...just because they will keep the heat down and you dont have to worry about salt in the winter.
However the LPP's are very very nice and that's what I will be switching to when my pace's have had enough

How do you like the fit of your pacesetters? Any issues other than rusty?

just so people know, stainless keeps the heat down like the coated headers.

That is something to consider. I love the sound of true duals. Can you get the obx mid pipes serperate? Im gonna look up the price of dynatechs headers only
