Default Pacesetter LT coated or painted
Guys I'm thinking about going with a set of Pacesetter long tubs with the off-road Y. I was just wondering if it would be a waste to go with the painted ones. I'm not looking to get every bit of power I can outta them. I'm just looking for a little more torque to pull my 33's. Also I've got an 03 5.3.

That paint, from what I've read on other member's experiences, burns off in the first few days. I would spend the extra cash for the coated headers

Get the coated, it will help with the O2s and heat. Don't know why, but I am sure someone will explain.

I don't think it's "supposed" to stay on, I think they are sprayed to prevent rust and corrosion before installation...

If it was supposed to stay on, it would surely last longer than 30 minutes like silver-mod-o said his did.
