Hear a new one every day.

At least, I've never heard that one. Far as I know, they each make their own stuff. From the few that have tried them, the PaceSetter headers don't seem like the system of choice.

PaceSetter tends to go after the low-end and import market. Summit carries some of their tips and the like, but JC Whitney is probably their biggest outlet. I had a pair of their turbo mufflers for about a decade, they're on a '68 327 Camaro now (guy picked up almost 1/2 second over the Cherry Bomb header mufflers he'd had on since the early '70's).

and 6-cylinder engines. Featuring mandrel-bent tubing and thick steel flanges. All are available with
Armor*Coat metallic-ceramic coating. " there is notin bout v8's

Interesting their own website doesn't mention them, huh? I tried to find out more about the JC Whitney headers, neither JCW or PS responded.

If you don't believe they exist, go here http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jht...=45704&BQ=jcw2 . Also search this forum, it's come up from time to time.
