I wasn't aware that Pacesetter made any stainless headers for these trucks.

I have the ceramic coated Pacesetters and they fit quite well. But, they are not stainless steel.

It will come down to what you want to spend. Pacesetters are a good budget header( arnt stainless), but will most def rust out if you live in a area that gets rain/snow/moisture. The coating looks nice, but is not a LEGIT coating such as having JET HOT done to them. They do fit well though. The high end headers are going to run you from 600-1300 depending on if you get a Y pipe section or do a Y pipe your self. Most of them offer a tru dual app as well. ARH, Kooks, Stainless Works, Dynatech, are some fo the more popular high end headers. Pacesetter, LPP, TSP, Cal speed are a few of the more budget friendly ones. As far as I know none of these headers hang below the frame rail. My SW's are tucked up high in the truck.

Half *** pic I made to give you a idea, of what is what. Left side is a kinda what a Y pipe set up is with a single in dual out muffler, the other is a true duals with either a X or H pipe.

My ARHs are hair lower than the trans x-member at the y pipe crossover.

So in other words I would be most likely ok? I would like to do Texas speeds and do a y pipe with cats that go into a single 3 inch to a slp loudmouth 2 with a dump right before he axel

my ARH's were 2200$ after teh jet hot coating. Canadian though...had to get em shipped from new york and pay freight....but theyre AWESOME! Installed myself in the driveway. hardest part was removing old exhaust. i chopped the **** out of it in the end. only had 2000 miles on it too....you can probly get em a lot cheaper in the states. coating looks awesome and is holding up strong.
