Default Pacesetter LT's

Has anyone installed the Black Pacesetter LTs? Is the black paint durable? All the write ups and reviews ive seen on here are the armor coat ones. The black is just so much cheaper!!

you'll just have to burn off the paint, sand em down and put some high heat engine enamel one em if you dont wanna pay the extra for the jet or ceramic coated one's.

No. They are painted to prevent rust but not high temp. Thats why they selling regualr painted and high temp ceramic coated. They will work for awhile with just the paint but the ceramic coating is for the long run

Save your money and get ceramic coated headers or you will hate yourself in the end.

You could always coat them yourself like Hammer did or have a shop do it
