hey guys thinking about ordering the longtubes from pacesetter. now i'v heard both ways about these things. for 432 bucks is it worth a try? i think the sound alone would be worth it, but what is your guys opinion on it?
i've got a true dual set up with hi flow cats into a x pipe into imco extremes. was thinking about putting on the spintechs and the headers and doing the lightning setup out the side.

 

longtubes aren't as good as the shorties!

 

curious what u base this on??????

 

Um actually shortie headers wont gain you more than maybe 5hp on the dyno... long tubes gained me 30hp and 35ftlbs. I dyno'd them all. I dont knw about the pacesetters, they have been known to rust out bad, my pacesetter shorties rusted out completly in about 4 months, then I went to dynatech stainless steel long tubes, last a lifetime

 

I got 20RWHP an 25TQ from the pacesetter longtubes

 

30/35 gain with a N/A or boosted engine?

 

Read his signature. With all the stuff he put in his sig, I'm pretty sure he would have written down a blower if he had it.

 

It's in his sig, 8th one down, Volant cold air intake. Can't have any kind of forced induction with that on there.

 

Yep, all natural. Ive never felt a power gain that was as strong as installing the long tubes. I took it to the dyno to prove it. 30hp/35ftlbs

 

so come on guys really are the pacesetters really that poor quality. i don't think i can afford dynatechs little much. do the pacesetters come ceramic coated, i take it they don't?? for that price

 

for 430 they are coated,you can buy painted for like 280

is the best deal I've found so far.

 

the best deal is with summit, they have them for $432

 

However, if you go through his gallery, there is a new engine with a nice pretty blower on it...just maybe he didn't put it in his signature yet...

the new engine isnt in my truck YET... Im getting anxious to get it finished! Its going to be twice the power as I have now, so I really cant wait to get it in, then ill be happy.
