Pacesetter SUCKS!!!!!! Big waste of money, I haven't seen a set of their headers yet that hasn't got rust holes in them after about a year. A guy I know just put a set on his Silverado a week ago and they are already rusting! I'm not that familiar with Flowtech's products but I would go with anybody but Pacesetter.

I'll second what Kota Kid said. I had a pair of pacesetter shorties on my '96 5.2, and within a few weeks, they were already starting to rust. Within a year and a half, the primaries had rusted completely through 1/2 way 'round the collector! (But only on the passenger side...weird) Now, I have a buddy that has a set of flowtech long-tubes on his 350 chevy, and while they are pretty rusty, they have no leaks in them. My buddy used to go muddin' every weekend with the truck the headers were in too, and they are probably 7-10 years old! So, all-in-all, I would say go with the flowtechs for sure if you want a decent affordable header.

Well, actually I intend to buy them from JetHot with the ceramic coating on them so rust shouldn't be an issue...I think.
