seems like no matter what kind of longtubes i see all are 1000.00+ if i want the headers, cats , and y pipe man this sux.

 

na, you have just have to be a little intuitive

Headers NEW (uncoated) $305 shipped

Now granted there pacesetter headers and there lS1 style isn't the best its cheap.

Have a local muffler shop make you a 3 in Y pipe, this is a guess but it can't be more then $60.

Dual Catco Cats, $46 each, shipped
Theres also another seller that sells Carsound cats for even cheaper, you might look him up

And there you have a setup for just under $500

 

Yeah, you can spend less than $1k.

 

I'd highly recommend the Pacesetters. I love mine. I paid $580 to my door for coated longtubes, offroad pipe, O2 sims, and O2 extensions. The best deal going. I would highly recommend getting a custom y-pipe though. That has been my only gripe. I bought two Carsound cats off of ebay and paid $112 shipped for both. So, as you can see, it's easy to have headers and catted y-pipe for under a grand. BTW, my Pacesetters dynoed exactly the same numbers as my buddy's FLPs. Our cars are pretty much identical with the headers being the only difference.

 

i dont understand why everyone thinks pacesetters are such low quality. they have minor fitment issues but i picked mine up COATED for $330 brand new and after 6 months, they're still bright, shiny silver. plus i gained 6 tenths from the LTs and ORY.

i highly recommend em.
