Pacesetter headers?

[CaMaRoSkeetSkeetOnYourFace4surE]

Pacesetter headers are all i could find for my 97 3.8 v6. Are they good headers. Also i found the regular black coated ones for around $230, but i heard its better to go ceramic, but the ceramic ones are $380. Can you really tell the difference between the normal black coated ones and the ceramic...like performance wise? Right now all i have on my car performance wise are flowmaster 80 series and K&N cold air intake, probably getting high flow cat soon. Are headers worth the money? I heard they will make my exhaust sound deeper and throaty which i want.

performance wise, i dont really have an answer until your none coated ones rust ;)

its definatly worth all away around to get the coated and to get them at all for that matter. they will make it sound better and perform better

WOW, you win longest name on the board!

Yeah, they wont rust and ceramic will help heat wise too.

Yea when i was registering i sat here makin up names for like 10 mins. anyways i guess it sounds like the ceramic ones are the way to go. $380 though that sucks. Anyone know where i can get them cheaper than that>?

It's not a performance difference, really. The paint will burn off of the non-coated headers really quickly and the'll start to corrode on you. You might save a few bucks now, but in a few years you'll have to buy another set.

From what I heard, the ceramic coted ones don't corrode at all.

I'll make this decision really easy for you. Heres a pic of uncoated pacesetter headers on a car after a couple weeks or so.
