They are pacesetter knockoffs, all the purchasers have been happy for the price, as far as I've heard. The one complaint is that you need to seal them up with copper sealant because the clamps don't do a perfect job.

yes they will "git-r-done" they are even cheaper pacesetters like Zafrin said.

i run the Pacesetters and i like them for the price, they perform very well and you just need to tweak the places where the pipes connect and your good to go thumbsup

Take lots of pictures while they are shiny. They won't be for long.

Napa, Carquest, etc.

Get the clamps that are a bit wider. I'm not sure what they are called, but they are like sleeves. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

lol no.

Copper RTV is fine.

1800* is hot enough to melt iron and steel iirc. Your block would be molten at that temp.

The wide clamps are called band clamps. Come in all the popular sizes all the way up to 5 or 6 inch iirc. They run around 10 or 15 bucks a piece.

A lot of people buying these have found the crossover is not correct and must be cut and rewelded! also since these headers are stainless do'nt bother with paint it will just end up flaking off ,if you want them coated send them to jet -hot their coating will last and cut down engine bay heat,one other heads up for these headers they will not fit a 97 gt with a 4t60e trans.
