    They'd be the same price as ceramic Pacesetters. These are stainless, 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8.

    Looking for reviews, fitment. I know pacesetters are pretty much the best choice, just exploring options. I'd rather not go with the painted headers from Pacesetter. Just don't want to dillydally removing the paint because i think it says to.

    I wonder if MIFbody members still get them for $475...

    This is a dead horse now but if you buy pacesetters you should get the ceramic coated ones... Not painted.

        Ive got the same tire, but i went with 255s up front so I could clear everything because im lowered in the front.

        overall a real good tire, you'll be happy.

          It'll be nice to no longer rub in the back anymore. And the added comfort that they will not split apart on the highway.. I've been avoiding it as much as possible because of the shape the rears are in..

            Ok i wasnt sure what you meant by having to remove paint... You buy them and bolt them on

                  • Yep, all that's left is the parking brake. At least I can't break it again when I get home from the M&G

                        • I got em off. I took off the blades and realized I could scratch the glass, and when I put it back on it popped off [emoji38]

                            • Oh, so you were talking to me about the LPP headers? Again, I say do it, especially if they are the same cost as Pacesetter junk.

                              Cool ride... I just skimmed through everything and saw you had some trouble bleeding the system. A little trick for next time:

                              Open up the bleeders first (I only open up the WP bleeder since I deleted the heater) then pour in your coolant. You will begin to see some coolant coming out of the bleeders. So yes, make sure you have a towel near by so you don't leak coolant on the opti. Once coolant is flowing with less to no air shut the bleeders and continue to fill the system. You may have to bleed when the car is running but it won't be a pain if you take this step. Most likely you won't have to bleed the system at all but you will need to top it off.

                                I enjoyed talking with you man. Like I told you, a 383 LT1 got me into the car world.
                                I'm happy to say I don't have cooling problems now. It was such a nightmare lol. I'm going to be snagging the headers from Jonny this June, I just have to tell him to remind me I don't wanna be messing with the car while in school. I'm not opposed to grinding anything.
