Got my pacesetter

says it all... ^^^ got it and immediately installed it... simple install, the hardest part was cutting off the stock exhaust, everything else was cake... sounds great, not ricey at all... very deep, not tinny, and gives much better high end... revs a lot faster in the higher rpm range... only been a few hours, but so far i'm lovin it!!

i have the catback... there's a soundclip on here, doesn't do it justice... it sounds very deep, not high and whiney... it rumbles nicely at idle... i love it... drove about 200 miles today for a wedding, and loved every minute... my mpg did go down from around 30 to 21 though

I love that buzz when you're in overdrive around 2500 RPMs

Does anyone have the ceramic pacesetter headers??....i really want to do headers but was alittle concerned by looking at the price since it was like $280 on gravana....How are they?? and will they work with a Borla catback exhaust system??

i have the pacesetter cat back and it has alot of back pressure when you let off of the throttle. i know that some is normal but it seems to be alot. D4u2sOT is your exhaust welded on or did you use the clamps? also anyone with the pacesetter header and exhaust...how much did the header change the sound good or bad?
