i currently have pacesetter sorties on my truck an been having alot of leaking problems on the flange that bolts to the heads, i was wondering should i just spent money and get some really good gaskets or should i just get the ebay stainless headers, and if i get the lt's are they worht 300 more dollors and if so how come? also it looks like they have fake cats???? any info would be great help, i got alittle money but dont wanna waste it when i could get something else. thanks guys \ 2004 gmc sierrs 5.3 ext cab 4x4 shorties, cai, cat back, vette servos nelsoned tuned..

i would try better gaskets and keep them torqued . have you tried some high temp rtv on them i have heard of people doing that .

well i used them on the rear collectors and didnt have much luck? my main reason to switching to the lts. was if i gotta do new gaskets and spend the money for gaskets its not much more than doing the lt;s but will i gain any power or nething by switching and if so is it worth 300 dollors for the gain thanks agian guys

gaskets should be under 50 bucks ?

I re-used my stock steal gaskets when I did mine. However LT'S are a million times better than Shorties.
