So, I'm looking at picking up a set of headers for the Z (finally lol). I was gonna pick up a set of SLP's (set for the 93 was only $400 ...till they discontinued them ), but now I'm looking at either Pacesetter mids or Hooker tuned shorties/mids. So, my first question is...which would be better? The Pacesetters are cheaper, but the Hookers are tuned. Whichever I go with will probably not be the last set of headers I run.
My second question regards the hardware. Both kits come with gaskets, bolts, etc. It would be easier on my budget to just use the supplied hardware, but I was thinking about using ARP studs (outboard 1, 2, 7, 8)/bolts(all other holes) and Percy's dead-soft aluminum header gaskets (collector gaskets too if I get the Pacesetters). Does this sound like overkill or is the extra piece-of-mind worth the near $150 extra (depending on setup)?
Before the question is posed, I'm thinking of running studs on the outer 4 holes to make it easier to swap gaskets should the need arise. I would use all studs, but that might be more of a pain than its worth I would think for any maintenance. Any comments on this?
Thanks in advance everyone.
