i've installed vibrant setups on people's cars, and have to say they're top notch. very high quality. i just don't like the way they sound with an exhaust.

the pacesetter sounds pretty bad with a header/downpipe... you're gong to want to get a big resonator put in, and maybe change out the muffler if you're concerned with the sound. it gets pretty raspy as is.

It sounds great with my Corsa sport cat-back. I'll try to get a sound clip for ya. Its a tiny bit raspy when it first starts up. (but what exhaust isn't?)

I'd say go for it bro! Its a great deal for some good quality parts! One day when the cat starts to go out I'll probably weld in a high flow cat. But besides that my exhaust is finally finished!
