Pacesetters are the 'Hedmans' of shorties.

If you're going to bother with anything, why not just go with long tubes? The shorties really won't gain you anything, performance-wise. Check the C4 general section sticky on the GP for Stainless Works headers and other exhaust components. You won't find a better or longer lasting header than high grade 304 stainless.

I doubt if you'll like the looks of the Pacesetters. They hammer on the tubes during manufacturing to get the bolts to clear. I sent a set back.

Shortie headers are not cost effective, in my opinion.

RACE ON!!!

If you are on a budget I would consider Hedman coated as the absolute minimum standard. If you can afford more there are lots of options including stainlessworks being one of the nicest I have seen.

When I looked on the Hedman site, I didn't see shorties or any headers for 1992 and up.

CFI, I just looked and I didn't see one either. Looks like Hedman may stop at 1991. I have them on my 1984 and for the money they are actually a decent header. They are obviously not high end headers but the price they charge is very fair for what you get.
