I can't comment on the 3rd gen headers but I put the Pacesetter longtubes on my 96 SS and the quality was very good with thick flanges and the coating looked decent. I'm sure the coating would take a beating over time especially on a daily driver with road debris kicking up and hitting the collector area. Is there any particular reason you're going with mid-length instead of longtubes?

Oh yeah, I had a couple small issues because mine were emission's headers. The AIR fittings were threaded all the way to the top and they aren't on the stock manifolds so I needed some "spacers" to take up that gap. The EGR fitting ran right into the auto trans dipstick tube so I had to "adjust" the dipstick tube location.
