Does this coil and header work
Hello everyone, I know I probably should have asked this first but I recently purchased an Accel Performance coil and a set of Pace Setter shorty headers. Does anyone have any feedback on these items? I will be installing these items this weekend but I would like to know what to expect. My vehicle info is listed below in my signature. Thanks!
Some people have zero issues with the Accel coil, some have had several problems with it. Supposedly, the first batches of it proved to fail randomly, but later ones are supposed to be fine. I would keep the stock coil in the center console (I do, and I have the MSD Blaster 2) just in case. Don't want to be stranded some place.
The Pacesetter shorties, are they ceramic coated, painted, or stainless?
Ceramic = Best IMO, can stand the extreme heat pretty well, but are most expensive.
Painted = Paint is for when they are on the shelf, it will start peeling shortly after first use. Not pretty.
Stainless = Mixed reviews. Inexpensive, but I've read they tend to turn purple after a while from the heat.

thank you sir just wanted to know.
Agreed, I run the same too but I did feel a good bottom end increase with the headers that I can see when I climb hills in OD. It just seems to pull torque out no where and go into "diesel mode" where it just holds in OD when in combination with the superchips perf tune. Its pretty sweet
