    Not An Abba Fan seems to think there alright. That's good enough for me. Of all people you would think he would know.

    Exacxtly what i mean i say, If you want pacemakers, save your cash and get them, dont settle for the cheaper option..

    Pacemaker are a good brand, but on a street car you wouldn't notice any difference between brands.

    My opinion is get what you can afford. Tiger Headers are a cheaper brand because as with most things they are made in China. They are brought in by Super Cat. I think they are OK, they fit well, they do the job and they aren't too expensive.

    The thing people seem to miss is that having Pacemakers might be good for the soul but most people are too hung up on brands. At the end of the day, are you going to get a couple of hundred dollars worht of EXTRA performance out of Pacemaker?

    Don't get me wrong, Pacemakers are a good product, for a race car, but on the street it doesn't really matter.

    I do the Tiger ones for the VZ for $295.

    I had some HM headers on my LS1.
    The manifold flange was too thin and warped eventually. Pacies were at least twice the thickness. Product quality even in the final finish was allot better as well so if you're a bit anal on asthetics then thats comes into it as well.

    What gauge tubing do the Tiger headers use?
    Don't want them to fracture, that'd blow and you'd end up paying for a good set anyway.
