You mean like this bullshit pain in the ass. I just got done putting pace setters on mine. Fit like a glove but cldnt use the studs so I used the bolts that came with it.

No photo description available.

I have the pacesetter shorty headers on my 98. They’re starting to rust after 1 1/2 years, even though I painted them. When I do it again, I’ll probably try to find a set of long tube headers, or stainless shorty/long tubes.
