Default Headers are ordered!

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered pacesetter long tubes with the y-pipe. I was going to custom built the y-pipe but after pricing and taking into consideration time/frustration involved in building my own I decided for the pre-made. I hope I don't regret it. I'll post pictures of the install when I get to it.

Have you found my secret write-up yet? Well, not so secret, but it lives in a locked thread on the net and it's about the cheapest, -most beneficial way to go about it NA.

I'm sure they are for the 98 w/ PI 5.4. I'm more curious as to what brand he bought.

I dont get why everyone buys pacesetter. Just my 2 cents - but I think they are complete junk, the paint will fail and the longtubes always rust from the inside out. The headers aren't even stainless steel! They also don't even come with any kind of flange installed. Fitment is also crap.

Thought he said PS's ? Yea, it's there.

I'm curious about the Y plans.

Guess it's a tough one to answer ?

Ya but don't your OBXs still leak?
If so, both you and myfx4s OBX setups leak.
According to Charlie, carcrazy, and jbrew, they have all had good life and leak free service from their pacesetters.
