Default Pacesetter Headers

Hey guys any advice on the Pacesetter long tubes? I'm likely getting the coated ones installed with the offroad Y-pipe.

I was quoted $629 cdn for the headers, $239 for the Y-pipe and 5 hours labour for install.

Sounds relatively fair. This will be connecting to the factory catback, to which I might add a muffler. Will I lose any low end with this set up or will I gain low end?

I agree those better be installed prices. Without looking them up. Those headers are about $400 and y pipe is about $150

Blue. That is pretty much dead on pricing. If thos are installed prices jump on it. But I would shop around a lil more. I did my install myself. It wasnt to bad. But definitely pull your front tires and inner fender linners. Its way easier and your lookin rite at what your workin on. The hardest bolt was drivers side rear

The parts prices above are Canadian. They are good prices. About $30 less for each than anywhere else has quoted me.

Comments on low end torque gains or losses with the headers?

I put pacesetter long tubes on my brother in laws 2010 z71 4 door. I drove it home after the install untuned and didn't notice any loss in low end. After it was tuned I was very happy with the midrange and top end. You won't see any gains down low but I don't think you will lose any either. Long tubes and a good tune is a great upgrade.
