I don't know if pacesetter makes em for 6.2.
I installed a set of arh stainless 1 7/8 headers and cats on an 08 6.2 last week and they are a thing of beauty. Fit perfect, sound awesome. no fabrication.

if it's a 2WD then maybe they might without a problem.. but if u've got the 4wd check the post wot_denali made.. they seem to clear fine for budget headers

yes it is a 2wd, but my real concern was i had heard that the bolt pattern on the 6.2 headers were different than the rest of the smaller V8's. But im askin because i can get a hold of some pacesetters that are meant to be for 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0, for a real good price. so wanted to see if i should buy them or not. those obx look good, but i dont know if they are ceramic and havent heard much from them. let me know if any one has tried this. preciate the info norris_83!

you will want 1 7/8 inch headers on your 6.2.
4.8-6.0 are going to be 1 3/4

obx are stainless,but 1 3/4, again make sure you get 1 7/8 inch

ok gotcha, but as far as fitment they should fit correct?
1 7/8" it is ill be on the look out.. I think the ones i can get are 1 3/4" so probably not work the best? Correct?

they will fit the truck, but the tube size is not what you want for your 6.2.
I know the arh's are pricey, i have a set on my 6.0
but they are made for direct fit and you will not need to fool around and hack up your cats to make the pacestters fit.
even if you bought the p/setters and off road pipe they still wouldn't match the pipe size behind the cats on a 6.2, your tubing and flange behind the cats is 3.5 inches. if they are too small and don't fit properly, why bother.
get the right stuff
imho

here ya go

doesn't say tube size for obx, email supplier to find out,

So the flange pattern is the same all the way across from 5.3-6.2? I ask because i may just put the 6.2 obx's on my 5.3 depending on size since they are a little larger.
