What did you guys do about your downpipe's did you have them custom made. This looks like a well made header and seems like a great buy. The only catch i see is i think you have to go custom on the downpipe so i don't know how much that would cost. Any info would be wonderful thanks.

This is a great header, one of the best out in my opinion. Great quality, performance gains, and price. I have the XTC DP w/ Cat and had to do some minor fabrication to it to get it to work. It really isn't that bad. I think Blown-4-Banger has the Pacesetter as well and he didn't have to do any fabrication with his, not 100% sure on that though, but you could ask him.

he has 3" custom exhaust, i want this header, how much work was it to fab into the dp? i really want it, but need to know it will work with the dp.

Which vendors on this site are selling this header? I'm very interested!!

last i heard you chop off part of the header, and weld it to stock downpipe... no?

i heard this also^^. and pretty much every vendor sells it between like 240 and 280 plus shipping.

I Just Bought The Headers Last Week I'm Going To Buy The Downpipe From Exhastdepot.com They Have A Down Pipe Special For The Pace Setter Header So I Would Go With That One.

i have the header with a custom dp and you can buy the downpipe from the guy that made mine for like 200.00 US. Check him out at exhaustdepot.com

never mind it's 215.00

thats what im gonna do :) sweet, thanks guys for showing hte dp at exhaust depot

no problem!

i may have to look into this route because 700 is kind of steep right now

You don't have to cut the header! The header comes with a ball joint (not my favorite) but if you put it on right it won't leak. You put the ball joint thing on, and it leaves a 3" pipe coming off the header, weld the DP to this pipe. Mine hasn't leaked once in the 4+ months I've had the header :twothumbs

I know it's a stretch, but do you happen to have pics of the install on your car?

That is the same way that mine was installed. Haven't had any issues for...about 5 or 6 months now.

just reviving an old thread, I know your in Macomb Michigan, me too, I went to Dugs Muffler, just south of Hall on gratiot on the northbound side, just north of the train tracks.

was 70 for the custom downpipe and my cat installed.

sub'd

i was thinking of getting the pacesetter also.

im installing mine tomorrow..ill let u know how it goes

Sorry to thread jack but i had a few questions about the pacesetter header that seem relavent.
1. What is the benefit of ceramic over stainless?
2. Does it throw a code?
3. Can i run it on the stock downpipe until i can afford to get a custom one?
4. How does it sound?

bravo for using the search tool!!!

ceramic I believe won't give off as much heat in the engine bay.
no it doesn't throw a code.
no, a pacesetter header won't bolt up to the stock downpipe.
mind sounds real rumbly on the stock exhaust, and I have a catless dp. I think it sounds good.

Is the Pacesetter a 3-inch collector? I know the LS1 guys have been using them for several years. I had a set on my 2000 T/A and had no issues at all.

Cool thanks

i got a custom DP made for 80 dollars......

i betcha lsjwannabe and fast98 are thinking of a master plan to produce a wondeful dp that goes with this header;)

Pacesetter is a low quality product that i would never put on a LSJ!

i've had the pacesetters armor coated header on my lsj for 10k and still love it

I dont think that guy has any basis to what he said..

he probly thinks because its cheap it sucks.

someone tell me the pros and cons to this pacesetter header and the jbp vortex header. the jbp is my favorite by far but i just got a ticket and have to pay that before i buy anything else. opinions???

Did you read any of the posts in this thread?
Theres also 2 threads on the lsj page that talk about the jbp header...
Do some reading.

They answer the question for you.
