    Really...Have you seen how many other people on this very site continue to buy the other horrendous fleabay design that you have to dent in 3 places and grind the k-member? And they are happy for the price.

    A little floorboard clearance is nothing in comparison, took me 10 seconds to fix and it isnt visible at all unlike denting things.

      Seller refunded $100 because he had so much problems? That's minor floor board clearance issue? Had to have them welded? That's minor....sounds like a pain in the ass to me

        He used Aftermarket engine mounts that made the problem worse. Michael even called it earlier in the thread that was likely to happen. Seller just happens to be a stand up guy, bravo. All pacesetter and pacesetter knockoffs have been known for running close to that floorboard. Amd i agree its a pain in the ass, but its nowhere close to as bad as the "competition" As mentioned earlier, unless you want to spend $1000 on a set of kooks. This is a ~$300 set of headers.

          Just to clarify, I currently do not have any LT1 headers. We had a trial set that didn't go very well so back to the drawing board.

            Sorry to see all the issues. My eBay headers requiring one dent and ten minutes of kmember grinding we're great. I would easily buy speed daddy's instead of these. Looks like an even poorer design. Regardless your going to pick up some legit power with these and stainless ftw! Sucks you can't enjoy the butt dyno.

              having helped you install those... No, just no. That is the design Jonny already turned down, fitament is horrendous.

              Along with better fit, pacesetters also have by far the best sparkplug access.

                Real pacesetters yes, but if your looking at speed daddy's vs fake pacesetters, the speed daddy design is by far superior.

                All we had to do is ding the header and grind some off the kmember, wasn't near as bad as what the op is facing.

                Half of lstech had the same experience I did.

                I also wonder if I had the ls1 steering link if we would have even needed to ding the header.

                  My pacesetters had this same clearance issue as the fake ones in this thread.

                  Install both and I guarantee you won't see it this way.

                      I'm assuming your talking about the eBay ones? If so put them first on my car when it had poly mounts and STOCK k member no issues. I think one of the spots on the passenger side was close somewhere but not close enough to be a issue at all. And obviously once my tubular k went in there was definitely no issues. So I got lucky. And now you get to enjoy them

                        I had a bit of an epiphany yesterday.
                        One problem solved.



                        Im going to do a little more grinding on the mount and clearance the frame flange.

                        Now I just need to get rid of the misfire.

                              While I do agree have you ever seen a Pacesetter Y-pipe for an LS1 car? They look like that right out of the box.

                                Hell I almost see it as a benefit to me, means my headers/exhaust are that much further from the ground. But I managed to make 3" piping fit without having to do that at all.
