20998, Headers worth it if...
Posted by 1FastEclipse, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Are the pacesetter headers worth the price tag when you have a 75 shot of NOS, or should I not worry about getting them? How much of a gain will the bring with NOS? Thanks

w/ the nitro you might want to get headers. it doesn't do THAT much w/o the nitro, but when spraying it would be good to move that air faster.

I have a pacesetter armor coat header that I am going to be selling here real soon because I just purchased a turbo kit. It is in nice shape, no dents, cracks, or anything like that. If you're interested, let me know. justin

I hate the header on my NT. It looks good but that's about it. That stupid POS is the reason I'm going turbo. :)

IMO, a header isn't worth the money. I only paid $100 for swapping my stock downpipe for it cause a friend needed it when going turbo, but it was still a $100 waste.

The header was my worst mod yet...

But that's just me :)

Am I the only one who installed a header and felt an improvement?

I put it on and she seemed faster, and the tires will break free easier than before.

No, I install my pacesetter headers last week and I fell an improvement also. The acceleration feels better than before. I didn't think it was going to be as good as it is because it seems that a lot of people are unhappy with them (headers), but for me and my auto gs I thinks it was a great mod.

Even with a small improvement I don't think they are worth that much money. If they cost about half of what they do, then it would be different. I just feel like they are way too overpriced for the performance gain... :)

Mine were probably half the price of yours, I paid $150 for the header and then whatever for the welding ofthe bracket.

When I put on my greddy headers I felt a slight improvement. Mainly in the torque. It seemed that my power band started a little sooner also.

Justin.
- let me know how much you want for that header... ill take it if no one else wants it... email : rfair35@aol.com
- From what Ive heard before, and seen around... headers seem to have some improvment - tho it might not be much, but possibly worth it.

Sure, but it won't be before the summer cause we have to get a custom manifold and downpipe made... :)
