Description

Long on power, easy installation, and 50-state smog legal—that’s the formula behind PaceSetter Shorty Headers. With these custom-engineered pipes at your truck or SUV’s side, top-end horsepower and smooth sound are all in stride.

Stock headers are inherently inefficient. That’s why PaceSetter Shorty Headers are specifically engineered for more free flow that cultivates power, boosts looks and eases under-hood temperatures. And, they preserve all smog mounting spots to help pass your next inspection.

PaceSetter Shorty Headers always stand taller than the competition. Each uses 16-gauge mandrel-bent mild steel with thick flanges for a leak-free fit. Your choice of protective coatings finish each Shorty Header: black paint or PaceSetter Headers’ exclusive Armor*Coat.

For straightforward installation, PaceSetter Shorty Headers mount into place using the included gaskets and the factory bolts. Best yet, your PaceSetter Shorty Headers carry a 3-year warranty.

"I have a 2002 F150 with a 5.4 and the headers have noticeabley improved the accelaration and response of the truck especially over 2000rpm. The advertisement and instructions didn't really work out so well. The site says it comes with gaskets but to reuse the stock bolts. It was actually the other way around. I got new bolts but no gaskets. The truck had studs instead of bolts which can be reused so I really didn't need them. Also the black paint on the headers is kind of pointless. As soon as you fire up the truck, the paint burns off. Overall though, the performance was worth it."

"I didnt notice a huge power gain at first but the more i drove the more i realized i had. As the rpms went up so did the pull but she pulled a lot more. A dyno test showed a 35 horse gain over stock manifolds. Instalation was the biggest pain in the a$$ though so be prepared."
