My Pacesetter Review
Well i finally put my header and all i can say is wow. guys this car really seemed to wake up. The install was kind of a bitch by myself but i got it on properly with no leaks. Like i said the car really woke up in the higher rpm's and it made it sound quite a bit nicer too!Big thanks to Aaron at Turbotechracing.com for all his wisdom and a great deal on the product

I had the pacesetter exhaust and i just took it off and guess what i found?
the welds on the mid pipe hanger are broken, making a huge hole in the pipe.
i was pissed!

the headers might be alright but I can tell you from first hand experience that the cat back SUCKS!!!! I thought it sounded good....lol thats rediculous and it rotted out after 8 months and I wash my car religously so salt never sits on it......plus it added no power....I just switched to the Magnaflow cat back.....WOW It actually gave a seat of the pants power increase....the car pulls so much harder from 3600rpm all the way to redline!! Plus it sounds mean as hell!!! I know that pacesetter is cost effective but if your looking to spend that money and then some in the future..... I wouldnt go with pacesetter for anything....just my opinion, for what its worth.....

i have the pacesetter cat back on my car and am looking to put a new pacesetter header on my car this summer along with a high flow cat. will the pacesetter header attach to my stock downpipe or does pacesetter include all the necessary parts? this will be my first time replacing the header on a car in case it wasnt obvious enough

so how do you guys think that the pace setter header compares to an LSJ header? in terms of gains? I was going to get the pace setter one but went with the LSJ one instead...
