Pacesetter header hybrid question
Are the 2.8/3.1 Pacesetter headers good candidates for modifying to work with 34xx heads with D ports? If not which are? Also, what sort of power levels are the Pacesetters good for?

Re: Pacesetter header hybrid question
they are the best option for headers out there unless u can fab ur own
ur other option is to have somone like me build u a 1 5/8's primary long tube or midlenght header

Re: Pacesetter header hybrid question
Good to know. What about the power level they can handle?

Re: Pacesetter header hybrid question
I would venture a guess that project89 is right about the headers themselves being able to handle 500 HP, but I wouldn't count on the header system being able to handle it. First, the headers themselves aren't tuned or even equal length. Second, the crossover pipe is the choke point, being the same size as stock (2.25") to fit the stock catalytic converter (it's a pain trying to get the right adapter for the crossover pipe for the V8 converter!).

Re: Pacesetter header hybrid question
Anyone know if the OBX S10 headers fit a 3rd-gen?
Y-pipe is poorly designed but add in a flex pipe and it fits great.
Slotting the lower holes allows bolting to aluminum heads.
