[darnie1987]

i currently have pacesetter sorties on my truck an been having alot of leaking problems on the flange that bolts to the heads, i was wondering should i just spent money and get some really good gaskets or should i just get the ebay stainless headers, and if i get the lt's are they worht 300 more dollors and if so how come? also it looks like they have fake cats???? any info would be great help, i got alittle money but dont wanna waste it when i could get something else. thanks guys

Shorties aren't worth a flip to begin with. They flow just like stock manifolds. Long tubes provide scavenging of gasses which sucks them out faster. They are worth it.

kk, cuz i got the ones now and like i said there leaking, if i go with lt's im gunna deff do the stainless ones from speed daddy, i got about 3-500 bucks to spend looking for a sulution for my leaking problem and then the reast to try and make my truck faster... u think the lts r the ticket then?

I would have never bought shorties.

Get some stainless LTs, you will like them.

I have the Ebay LT's, no complaints.

[darnie1987]

so at this point im kinda leaning on doing it? but by doing so will i notice much change in performance? also ill have to get the rear o2 sensors deleated correct?

[darnie1987]

ooo and idk if this helps but my shorties are 1.5in collectors and 2.5 in collectors? i know the lt's are 1.3/4 primaries and 3in collectors i think?

darnie, sent you a PM.
you have 1 1/2" primaries now and 2.5" collectors, with the LT's you will have bigger primaries and 3" collectors, so you will have soem gain in lowend.
