The pics speak for themselves. I had to remove some Pace Setter headers and install some real headers. How many bolts can you see? Just a rusting twisted mess. Yes I charge dearly to torch, cut, and wrench imitation headers off:D .

Notice the transmission tube is not bolted in because they broke the bolt off and tried to drill it out then gave up. This is a common site among those who would choose a discount header.

This is the fake nest to the real header. Do not be fooled by imitation headers:nono: .

How long were they installed? Thats the best looking set of pace setter headers i have seen. I took some off a honda last month and they nearly crumbled in my hands

The previous owner bougth them from JC Whitney back in 2001. Im just glad terry got those off and the new ones on. If terry would of only seen the home made x-pipe the guy made for the catback he put on. He made it out of aluminized pipe but no coding to it. It just crumbled when they took the torch to it :eek: .
