Are the pacesetter headers ok, without the ceramic coating? I saw a pretty good deal on them. Do they fit my 99 without too much hassle? patr #70-1209 Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't waste your money on headers that aren't coated. Within a couple days they'll look like crap when the paint burns off.Matt

if no one will see under your hood like they do in car shows then you are fine, Those are the same exact one that i have on my 98 and you cant hardly even see them so i dosent really matter, but you could paint them with high temp paint of your choice and they will be fine if you do it right<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/profile/blackfbird_98\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/profile/blackfbird_98</a>

IMO it is well worth the price to buy coated headers.
for one thing, they look really nice and will for a long time unlike the painted ones that look like crap within a month.
secondly, the coating greatly reduces underhood temps and makes the exhaust more efficient by reducing heat scavenging1994 white Firebird M5<br />Flowmasters, CAI, 3.73s, LSD, coated pacesetters, eibach pro-kit, bilsteins, hurst shifter, JVC stereo, 18\" C5 vette wheels, Kuhmo Ecsta ASX rubber<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/744299\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/744299</a> <br /><br />Coming Soon: Turbo!

If you wanted my opinion...
I'd buy some tubular manifolds, get a custom y-pipe, and used z28 catback, and put a muffler on it...
alo put a cutout on it.
Just my opinion on the matter.
IF your muffler is swappable. I see the whole setup costing $75-150 ish in parts, and maybe $100-200 in labor(assuming you put the manifolds on yourself, and had everything else put on at an exhasut shop.
All better then just putting headers on your current setup.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>

Well, I'm gonna need them real soon. My sc is on the way back from rebuild, and I am on a tight budget for awhile. I just dont want them to rust out really fast. I would hate to put on the sc with ex manifolds from factory. I'm going to have enough fun with all the ses codes from that though, not counting headers. But I guess I have to work through them all.Jessica :)<br />Kansas: There\'s no place like home...99 Firebird Blown/6lbs, Eaton w/3.42\'s CI headers Z28 Exaust<br />CAI, #36 injectors Intense PCM

I wonder how much tubular manifolds are. Think gm performance sells them? Hard to find a smashed one with those on it. I called around and they are already taken off. Some other people have the same idea.Jessica :)<br />Kansas: There\'s no place like home...99 Firebird Blown/6lbs, Eaton w/3.42\'s CI headers Z28 Exaust<br />CAI, #36 injectors Intense PCM

they make plug changing easier, and they are sort of like "shorty headers" I vaguely remember the power differnece really being thaaaat big. And since you are on a budget I woudl put them on, and go with a bigger I-pipe you will see lots of gains.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>

I would agree with the tubular manifold thing if you didn't have a blower but since you do/will I'd say get headers.\'99 SSM Camaro V6 M5<br />(mod list on cardomain site; too long to list here)<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/v6cam99\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/v6cam99</a>

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
