  • 3.8 Longtubes??

    So not really happy with my pacesetters and their fit. Was wondering if anyone offers longtube headers for the 3800 cars???

    There are only a few sets in existence. Force Fed Fabs made maybe 10 of them, I have the first one produced. They have gone through a few changes over the years, but they've been mostly problem free outside of some cracks induced from the previous v-band setup.

        You can always use a 3 bolt or do like I did use a V band and be done.

          That was my next thought. just cut off the old mounting points ant weld on some nice flat 2 or 3 bolt flat flanges with gaskets. will have to stick in a flex pipe too for some movement...

            Those are exquisite headers!

              I have never had a problem with the collectors on my Pace Setters coming loose. Just use new grade 8 hardware and double nut them.
