everyone will tell you that Pacesetter has more going against them than for them when it comes to their header. its a POS.

go w/ a racing beat, mindtrain, or mazdatrix header. im gettin the Mazdatrix header kit for fabricators.

The Mazdatrix header is a RB.
I'd go with Racing Beat. They are very high quality, and made by a company that has been tuning rotaries longer than I've been alive. I've talked with a few people that have owned the Pacesetter, and they have had no problems with them. Plus I think the Pacesetter will bolt to your stock cat (I'm not 100% on that though).

I've heard nothing but bad things about Pacesetter products, everyone says Pacesetter is crap. On the other hand, I've heard nothing but good things about RB. I own an RB downpipe/midpipe combo and they are very well made.

Loooooooonng time ago before I had the RB header I purchased the Pacesetter header thru Nopi. I had the header for like 2 hours, as soon I opned the box you could see the irregularities. The one I received had no O2 sensor plug\nut (I heard they corrected this problem), and second of the the two tubes coming from the engine flange was 7+ inches longer than the other one (before the collector).

So I re-packed the header on the spot, and bought a RB!!!
