I have the pacesetter lt's and love them. The first headers that PS came out with, people were having fitment problems around the steering rack. That's been fixed.
I had no problems fitting my headers. They also made a huge difference in sound and performance. So, for the money, I couldn't be happier.

Im happy with my pacesetters too. I got the pacesetter coating on them. Up top they look good. Underneath the car its starting to show a little surface rust. Over all, best bang for the buck.

I didn't get the coating because I figured it wouldn't be needed here in San Antonio. Wrapping them is awesome though. 5-10 minutes after driving for a while, you can actually grab the headers with your bare hands without burning yourself. So it keeps ALOT of heat out from under the hood!

It's a header/exhaust heat wrap (which can be found at any auto parts store). I bought mine at pep boys.
And yes, you'll have to tune afterwards.

I lost almost 15rwhp with a handhelp tuner (Diablosport) compared to an actual tune. You will also be able to program much more in an actual tune. Good luck, bud.

I bought the OBX stainless with the off road kit and they were only $550 shipped and the fit was great no problems with the steering rack.
