Default pacemakers or wildcat?

Hi all.

have just had the lukey 561 headers on my Fairmont replaced due to them being cracked. I went with wildcat headers due to budget reasons and they are awful compared to the system that was on it Now I cant weld up the lukeys and bolt them back on because the tailpipe has been changed to suit the wildcats.

So I'm thinking of going pacemakers. is there any noticeable improvement between the pacemakers and wildcats? performance, sound and loudness?

thanks

Pacemakers are the best! They seem to be the only company that make them right.

Most people say pacemaker or hurricane, only complaints I have heard towards pacemaker are, the welds break over time and the ceramic coating is **** but these are very few complaints and they seem to be the top contender at the moment for noise and performance....Hence why I am going the 4495s

I'm not keen on the Pacemakers, their primaries are 1 5/8", the better headers are 1 1/2".

I6 headers with 1 1/2" primary, 2" secondary, and 2 1/2" outlet generally make the best power.
