If you have the pacesetter, i'm pretty sure you either have to have a custom DP made or buy the one that fits it, which is 200+ dollars IIRC. That's why not many buy those...

The only thing that will hook up is a shorty. This is the case for all cars though, doesnt matter how many cats or what engine you have, there are very few headers that use the stock cat/dp assembly
