still waiting for the headers

[V6FirebirdPride]

It's almost been two week's and im still disappointd that they still aren't here... but they said they are on back order for 2 week's.. but anyway's who all here has gotten header's? Did you like the sound of them.. did it sound meaner or just a little ricer... and how much hp would i be expecting from them... and do you think i should be getting my header's with in a week.. and if you had somebody put them on how much did it cost for somebody to do and who should i go to and ask them to put it on.. i was thinking about midas... but god i wish they would hurry up and get here.. i just "hate" waiting!!! :mad:

Who did you order them from? Please don't tell me you ordered Pacesetter headers, otherwise you will be waiting for years.

Try emailing/calling whoever you ordered from as well.

I got my Pacesetters in a week

Granted it was their last set made and sold through manufacturing plant they were using.

I haven't personally done headers but I know that you shouldn't expect much. The sound will be better and a little meaner. I would maybe say you could get 5 hp out of them. As far installing them, I think it would be worth it to do it yourself. Shop will probably charge you 150 or so. I think that headers are worthwhile to help open up the exhaust, but they aren't much of a mod by themselves.

Tbyrne is a very reputable company. They have great customer service. If they say 2 weeks it will be 2 weeks or sooner. TBYRNE always gets my parts out when they say they will.

Yeah, but they're basing that "2 weeks" off of what Pacesetter tells them, and Pacesetter is full of $#!T. Their 3.4 headers have been on "2 week" backorder for a month or more, and the 3.8 headers that have been on backorder for "2 months" for almost a year...

Pacesetters policy in the past was that they would not make a batch of headers till they had enough orders for them to justify it. They do not make them per order and they do not have them on the shelf.

On the part earlier about doing it yourself. Good luck is all I can say. I have yet to see a set go on were some type of Y-pipe modification wasn't needed on a set shipped from pacesetter. On top of that it is very hard to ge to the lower header bolts on the passengers side of the car.
