pacesetter headers are around 300 then you can have your pipe ran custom behind it...or you can get the off road y pipe they have to for 150 or so and then have your pipe ran behind that

I was at the beach this weekend, and some people were talking about pinched pipes. You know about this?

pinched as in when the pipe is bent to curve over the axle it's pinched too much?

you'd be putting in around 500$ extra for a decent set of longtubes. Shorties would be a little bit cheaper.

I saw one truck with em. The tips were pinched in instead of the normal oval shape

I have heard that shorties don't do enough different from the stock manifolds to warrant the money, and if you're going to get headers, you should longtubes for these trucks... Not sure though.

don't do shorties...that'd be 250 for a cheap set, wasted. get longtubes for sure, most people choose pacesetter because they're cheaper but they're still good headers.

and why would they pinch the tips? that would screw up the air flow i'd think or are you meanin the tips were like a rectangle instead of the oval shape?
