For my 3.1,Looking at the Pacesetter set.I like the look of the black ones and they are cheaper but I heard in the long run it sucks.Whichs better?

 

Ceraimc Coated headers are the way to go. They last very long and do a far superior job of keeping the heat into the primary. Painted headers don't come to close in nay of those categories.

 

You can always buy th eun coated ones and coat them in Turbo X which is a ceramic black.

Since you like the black look.

 

Painted headers will last maybe 3-6 months depending on how much you drive compared to coated headers lasting for years. The initial cost seems pretty steep when you add it to the price of the headers but you wont be disappointed in your choice years down the road.
