I dont have the pacsetter headers but I do have the ssautochrom headers from 4 or so years ago. Still work great.... for the price of the ebay headers I would go with them.. they are stainless steel.. I have not heard anything bad about them.. Buddy of mine got a set for his mx-6 and they look just as good as my $400 headers did when I got them.. all the joints were welded clean..

I bought mine off ebay a long time ago and I have not had any issues with them...

I think they are SS autochrome or something

Most people seem to not like the Pacesetter products, because of their low quality build and tendency to rust and crack, so I doubt they're worth the extra money. Frankly, SS Autochrome/XS power ones probably aren't much better either, but at least they're stainless.

I have the SSA headers, although I had them ceramic coated, so they'd last longer and run cooler, and so far they're alright, but as long as they don't rust or crack, they're all about the same. The power gain difference is questionable and has not really been tested.

Not really a lot of choices for good headers with our cars after Hotshot went under. Don't know of eBay headers quality, but I doubt they'll be much worse than Pacesetter/SSA ones.
