I have the badmab and for 189 bucks I cant complain no real dyno numbers on it as of yet. The butt dyno likes it though.

You already know my opinion, your best bet is the pacesetter. There is a reason the top hp cars were running them

The build book from GM on the last page from the build your 300hp ecotech was a prototype shorty header.

Bad-Mab has my vote all the way for this one. I am showing major time off my 60-100 time and my exhaust is stock besides the zzp 3' catless dp.

Once Nick fixes my screwup i will log again. With just header change i went from a solid 6.2 60-100 to a 5.8-5.9 60-100. Oh look its got performance gains too

Cant beat the deal with brad at Bad-Mab.

I have pacesetter, but it had to be fabricated to go on. I know they have a direct bolt on too, but w.e., badmab is pretty good, but I'm pretty sure there is a thread on the header brands and gains.

I love my badmab header. You can't beat the lifetime warranty and price. I installed mine over the weekend, and it was a very simple install. Very nice quality header, and Brad is a good guy to deal with as well.

It will work with:

- Stock
- Random Technology
- ZZP
- CTI

Pretty much any downpipe that would bolt to the stock manifold.

There is a reason that zzp's mid length and even the longtube to an extent resemble the design of the pacesetter

I've had a lot of customers team it up with the ZZP dp's, but just about any of them will work.
