Alright I know what your all going to say, and I would say it too if it was somebody else asking this... BUT hear me out first before I get flamed to a crisp

I found a pacesetter header being sold for $85 on the zilvia forums, it was used for a couple months, then re-coated with heat paint when the original paint flaked off... should I buy it? and if I do, all aesthetic problems aside, do they yield performance gains similar to other header brands like hotshot?

thanks :pface

$85 cheap, if you don't mind the hassle of it rusting off and fixing it up later.

performance yields are pretty much the same + or - 1 or 2 hp

well like I said it was re-coated with high-heat paint so I doubt rusting will be an issue now

Ive got my own shop and all the welding/repair skills I need, im just concerned about performance at this point

You will have to see for yourself then,

performance difference is neglible between brands
