This exhaust is not stainless steel, so it won't last very long. I don't have one myself, but I've always been told to stay away from pacesetter products.

my personal opinion is that the exhaust is whiney and ricey... and aluminum, so it will rust quickly.

i wouldnt waste my time, but it's also a personal preference.
I'm more than happy with my Corsa.

edit: oh, and as for CAI i would recomment K&N or Injen

There is a pacesetter exhaust thread here somewhere where there are some sound clips of one.

I guess you need to ask yourself "How long am I keeping this car?"

if you say forever spend the money right the first time and get a good cat back system.

if you say for a few years then get the pacesetter to save a few dollars.

Too many people are actually scared to try pacesetter because they are afraid it will rot, I have news for you, regardless of the material they are made of they all screw up, rust or have issues in the end. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER unless you live in the desert of course, no mositure = no elements can hurt it.

I've seen Corsa exhausts systems rot on other cars, I've seen stainless steel Magnaflows rot, Dynomax mufflers get rust holes in them. They are all prone to weather, aging and of course RUST! Don't let someone else fool you into thinking otherwise, polishes come off exhaust systems. I have a flowmaster 50 series installed on my cavailer and it was brand new muffler made of complete aircraft quality but it only took two michigan winters for it to rust and have issues.

It just sounds cool if you have something that is advertised that nothing will happen to it.
