do you think it was just your setup... I'm looking into some pacesetters for my 2.8 but if they are such a problem to install... well let me know what you think

To be honest i think it was just how my day went, nothing wrong with the headers, its basicly fine now just issues with my particular car, i highly recommend them guys! even with my setup leaking from the 2nd cylinder directly from the block and the pipes not welded up theres a very obvious gain in power.
