SLP makes a set of SS coated headers. These are about the best fitting shorties available. They sell for about $560 from SLP not including any mounting hardware or gaskets.

That's WAY too much for no more performance than shorties provide. There's a coated set on ebay at a buy now price of, I think, $266.

I have a set of Hooker 2061-1 ceramic coated shorties for sale. These headers have less than 2000 miles on them.

I'll take $300 & I'll pay shipping.

I went with Jet-Hot. I bought the Hooker Sorties from them and had them coated with their "Sterling coating" I really like them and they still look new. Here's the numbers order# 1-800-432-3379 tech# 1-610-277-5646

I bought mine two years ago and I'm not sure what the price is now. You're not too far from me if you want to take a look.

Don't waste your money on those cheap ($266), noncoated, Pacesetter headers on ebay. Get either the SLP's, Hookers, or Exotic Muscle brands. I've heard nothing but bad news on the Pacesetters.

Dont pay too much for them, they dont really help much. Since we dont have emissions I wouldnt think twice about buying them.
Another guy at CU had a set on his 93 that I heard once, along with Power Effects, sounded good but I bet it was mostly the PE.

I thought you sold your headers? Otherwise I would have posted to PM you if I had known they were still available :) STL9LT1 is correct, stay away from them Pacesetter headers they are El-Cheapo units.
