hahaha love the washer.

I just got mine installed as well. Love it but they didnt take their time and missed about half an inch on the weld. Gotta go get it patched up.

Nice looking header..I kinda wish i hadnt got the painted black.. your finish looks so much better

its not really a ghetto picture its more of like its not on the right setting of the picture mode.What happen was,home depot didn't have enough size washers for the bolts,so I was only able to grab 6,since pacesetter left out 2 extra washers and also they didn't bolt up directly like they should of.so I had to use more then 4 washers from what pacesetter gave just to make sure it bolts up correctly.As for that piece sticking out thats from the heat shield from the crappy exhaust manifold GM puts on,ran out of washers and I wanted the shit done asap.It works fine though,no problems,also what pissed me off was the gasket on the fucking header part was complete crap where it wouldn't seal right,so it had to be silicone to make sure no leaks go through.

Then select the right setting and take another picture.

Somebody who knows a LOT ..please give me some heads up on what I am going to be dealing with installed a pace setter header on my 2.2 using a zzp down pipe W/ cat .. I have a magnaflow 2.5 catback

honestly if you have a Pacesetter you shouldn't have even purchased that ZZP downpipe

the connections are slightly different between the Pacesetter(ball joint) and ZZP so you'd be lucky to have it bolt up correctly. Assuming that the ZZP will fit over the ball joint you may be good to go. Otherwise you'll have to connect it like how the Pacesetter extension is normally connected and trim the downpipe accordingly to bolt up to your stock catback.

when my Pacesetter was installed I just drove to a exhaust shop open header and had a custom downpipe fabbed.

this is the road that most take when running Pacesetter

hey man check over Jn2's images, go back some pages, he has a pic of stock OBX compared to the stock manifold, the OBX is the same as the pacesetter only better quality and stainless steel, but the same headeer...look at it from his images, to give you a better understanding of the hook up, plus his pic if better quality than the one above, and PM him for any help, he's a nice guy

really? ive asked around on here & everyone said that the new 08 2.2's have a different bolt pattern flange so the pre08 stuff wont work... then that nobody made one for it yet...
