Great News From Pacesetter!

[OneQuickV6]

I've been corresponding for a while with Michael Nunn, my Regional Sales Manager for Pacesetter. I have voiced my/our concerns as a V6 community about the V6 headers they are producing. I mainly pointed out the poor sealing at the ball joint flanges, as well as the desire for a longtube. No good news on the longtube yet:( BUT....There are changes that will be happening on the flanges.

"Good Morning Matt,
On the Chevy/Pontiac V-6 header change at the ball joint end, we are looking at a plate similar to the 70-2255 headers. This should make it almost leak-proof. I don't have a time frame yet. With any change to production, there is a series of things that have to take place before a part-production change can take place"

The 70-2255 is the LS1 part number, and it slips each piece over the next, and has virtually no chance to leak! So although no ETA, I just wanted all of you to know Pacesetter and Texas Speed are working to make better parts for your performance needs!

I have had no leaking problems with my ball-joint flange. The only issue was that the bolts were too long and couldn't be tightened up enough....5 washers on each bolt solved that problem.

old lugs nuts worked here but shhhhhhhhh those flangs are better

Matt, can you send them a head and have them match there ports to our heads, cuase mine dont match at all head = ovil and there headers = round,

The biggest problem when I ported my heads, was that the stock exhaust port was TINY. The shape was a mere afterthought for me, as the Pacesetter primaries were so large, and I had to waller out the exhaust port to take advantage of the headers.

Also, you never really see a header with an oval primary. It's not the way to be, as if you have X number of mm's of primary, you get more cross sectional area out of a circle than an oval.

glad to here it. as soon as they come out with the long tubes with the new flanges, i'll be upgrading.
