Only $140 or so...is this a good header though? Will spool up be quicker?

I already replied to one add about this, but my friend bought this header and we all thought it was really cool and I was going to get one until his cracked really bad and he sent it back.

i'd stay away from pacesetter. There was a big thread about their headers, a few people had them and didnt like them.

^ ^ ^ Agreed. I had a Pace Setter on my Datsun Roadster, it lasted about 3000 miles before blowing out a tack weld. They don't have a good rep in the DSM world, either.
