do you really think that ur goin to notice that big of a difference from one header to the next on a 5.3L ???? please..... just go with the best bang for ur $$$$

 

does anybody know if any of the LT's out there for the NBS truck present any clearence problems for people lowered 4/6?

ive also heard that the ceramic coating on the pacesetters isnt the best (IMO you get what you pay for). however geting the painted pacesetters and having them coated the right way someplace else seems like really good advice i might just do that if i ever go with pacesetters

 

This is what I did, cause I was kinda torn between which ones to buy..... I got a set of the ebay AEM headers on here for like $150 new... Then I sent them to get coated, 2 coats on the outside, 1 coat on the inside... So I have a total of $350 into a nice set of headers.... I don't think most headers off the shelf come coated inside....


Please excuse the finger prints on the coating, I did not wipe them down before taking the pics.....

 

why is the 02 bung so far up? Wont that burn up the 02 sensor?

 

I dunno, that is the way they were made... I have a plug in that upper one...

 

BlackGMC are these on ebay often or was it a one time deal that you found them?They look good.

 

I read a thread a while back, you can search, where it was like a frenzy for those headers on ebay and then everyone sold them. I think they had poor fitment, poor welds, or something of that nature.

 

They are not on Ebay anymore, but you might be able to come across a set in the classifieds on here....

The fitment was OK, kinda came close to the firewall, but the welds were good...

 

I have doug thorleys ceramic coated Tri-Y headers on my 96 suburban and they are great, also come with great gaskets and bolts.. ive been in the mudd that covered my entire driver side header and no rust at all.. I notice a nicccee amount of low end torque.

 

I had my PS done at jethot.
They sill look like new after 2 minnesota winters.
that stock shiny coating never holds up to the road salt.
I got the black stuff.
