Its not everyday I have the money to do things like this, heck only once a year during tax time. so I hope you all understand where im coming from

ALSO something that is very important is there is NO EGR bult into the TOGS....so you would would have to remove the EGR or disconnect it

Compare the SLP headers at Intense for $700 to the regular TOGS at ZZP for $750, these two headers are desinged for the same application and are directly comparable. The sizing and features are almost identical.

Tony.. the main reasoning for being put out by your post is you don't mention any of the information we've discussed. Primarily that no one has attempted Pacesetter. That fact is very well documented on the club and mentioned to you.
Instead the post may look to newbies that there are only two brands to consider when the SLP'* are a very qualified candidate as well.
Putting the little things aside, I personally suggest the TOGs from what I know. I like the connection between piping better. That doesn't mean that I have leaks with SLP'*. I have no issues with the SLP'* that won't be found with any other header at the moment.

No header is perfect as they all have some things against them but the fact remains that any header is better than PEM or heaven forbid the stock manifolds and ultimately the choice comes down to budget and personal preference.
The fastest Bonneville on the Planet ran the extreme big dog TOG headers simply because no other choice allowed the for the large size those did and it needed large headers.
The fastest daily driven street Bonneville runs SLP headers.
The 202mph Spirit of Bonneville used custom hand built headers.
