I've been there a few times, mostly for fittings and adapters. They have a pretty good selection of AN and NPT stuff. What are you looking for?

that tune and headers. My dad mentioned it to me because he met the shop owners wife the other day. I told him ive never heard about it and id look into it, but I think i want to stick with pro dyno. They seem to know their stuff.

Do you know anyone who is cheaper? The prodyno guy said they install their header set for 1600 or something maybe a little cheaper with a different finish on the pipes. IS that reasonable?

1600 for headers sounds really expensive. When I got my first set of headers I went to Arizona Speed and Marine, and my total was like $950 or $1000 installed or something close to that. The ASM headers have a pretty good reputation too.

If you want a good set of cheap headers I would get the Pacesetters, and pay someone to install them for you, or bite the bullet and do them yourself.

I talked to the guy at pro dyno and he said he used to work at AZ speed and marine and installed those ASM's and said people had trouble with leakage bc of the cutting and rewelding and what not... I dont know. But ya they told me like 800 installed there.

I want something that is definately going to last, not leak, and has a good repuatation. I do here those pace setters are nice. Itd probably be between those and the dynatech system.

I went with Dynatechs, headers and highflow cats. I also had these ceramic coated. You can catch this set up for around $1500 when on sale. They are very strait forward to install(they sent excelent directions). I didn't want to pay someone else to install them. I haven't had any complaints and with the coating they look real sharp.

Are you looking to go catless? If so, I'd get the Pacesetter LT's with the off-road Y pipe. You should be able to get the whole setup for somewhere around 600 or less, and it's all bolt-in. No cutting or welding.

I need to be legal. When I go to get smog checked and they look under I dont want to hastle with all that.

Plus with or without cats doesn't affect hp gain that much. Ive heard 1hp, which is lame. And the whole cutting and welding thing is what is leading me to something like dynatechs
