But we are also not the normal 6cyl camaro enthusiasts Shodown, gotta remember that.

Most people want bang for the buck, we're going all out horsepower.

I loved my Pacesetters from the start, I mainly got them for looks and sound, since my car is not on the street anymore. But when I bought my turbo kit, the y-pipe was made to bolt on to the Pacesetters, that made me love them even more.

I dont regret getting headers.

The biggest PITA youre going to have is the EGR... I hate it. Its still a problem. It just doesnt line up, and has the worst disign ever to hold it to the header. Thats the most trouble I had besides getting stuff out, and my cat issue.

yea, the EGR is a little tube that comes off your manifolds... its flexible, but easy to break at the same time. My suggestion is connecting the egr to your header first, then connect the header to the head.. save yourself a lot of stress.. but the egr is gay, so it will probably **** you off anway.

Although if you were going for a top end horsepower car, I would recommend getting them for that few extra horses.
what do u think the best headers for sound would be

if just looking for sound change your muffler, the cost and effort in headers isn't worth it

im really looking into all of it........if i can get it as a gift from my dad and gte it installed for free i would love to get them, i want some power and i want a lil more sound..........i dont really have that much money to buy to much else for power and its a waste for me to get a new muffler since it is already brand new, when i got my car the muffler wasnt even broken in
