I tried once. It didnt fit. Tried trimming it but was taking to much and returned it. This was a few years ago maybe they got better.

I have a header on mine but I don't know what brand it is. Previous owner installed it. Can get pics if interested.

I had one on mine and I recently got a Thorley to replace it. Trust me, spend the extra money on something good. First off it didn't fit right, the holes didn't match up to the studs, also the tubes were bent wrong and it rubbed on the bellhousing when they were bolted on. Second, the O2 bung is way downstream on the collector pipe. If you have a heated O2 sensor with a long enough wire it's ok, but I had to relocate it for my truck. Lastly, which wasn't a big deal to me because I at least knew I would have to do it, you have to sandblast and paint them with high temp paint. All in all with the fab work involved with just getting them to fit I was wishing I got something else. The performance gain was good, but the Thorley beats it there too. That said, after having one I will be avoiding Pacesetter at all costs from now on.

It was a Cali truck. hence the extra vacuum lines and extra exhaust piping.

the lc engineering header is pretty solid. Been running mine a few years now. for a while my exhaust hangers were broken and most of the exhaust was hanging off the header alone. took it like a champ. the lower collector is starting to rust a bit... thanks to old man winter and salted roads but she's still good. id recomend it.

I tried the Pacesetter as well and did not like it. It fit well as far as that goes, but had a ticking noise to it all of the time. Sound like a weedeater with a wire spinning and hitting all of the time. I could not keep it from blowing out the exhaust gasket either.
