hey i was just wondering if anybody has the pacesetter exhaust i wanted to know if its a good product or not bc its only $200 and i would like to know how fitment is and the quality and most importantly how it sounds...

thanks joey

bump anyone??

 

its supposed to sound pretty good, only thing it pacesetter it known to have a lil rusting issue

 

Going on friends experiences who used that exhaust on their cars, i'd reccomend choosing another exhaust. My friends had issues with rusting and the finish on the tip flaking off. The Pacesetter is cheap for a reason. And in my personal opinion, I don't really think it looks all that great either. Thats just my opinion.

 

pacesetter is an awesome exhaust for the price. its cheep as its not stainless steel and wont rust any faster then your stock exhaust.

 

i've never heard anything good about pacesetter.

 

Its painted mild steel with a Chrome plated tip. I've always hated chrome. It WILL rust ALOT faster than your stock Stainless exhaust. Remember you pay for what you get. The Megan racing exhaust comes from a cheap eGay knock off company of Mugen racing. Its stainless at least but I still wouldn't trust it. If you want really good quality go with Corsa, Hahn, Borla or GMPP.

 

PACESETTER=****
I did have a header it was a piece of ****!!!

 

care to explain?

 

yeah i got the header and it was faulty so i sent it back and got the money back for it the header its self had a leak you could not hear the cat back at all!!
Bottom line is that if it is not a Ferrarri that it is not a good product form my point of view
Hint the Logo

 

thanks for the info guys im prolly gonna go with gmpp

 

i have the pacesetter on my 2.2 and love it, The only problem (if you call it that) is its by far the loudest bolt on cat-bak.

 

i had mine on for over a year, and ZERO signs of rust. not a spec. looked better than my stainless parts. so, where are you getting this info again, or is this just what you heard somewhere?

 

I love mine it sound crappy at first ,but when it breaks in, it sound great. I compare the sound to the corsa exhaust on a ss/sc sound the same, but have heard it sounds better than gmpp.

 

ever heaer of the saying" you pay for what u get"..paid extra 100 and sum change and get the megan catback exhaust...goood quailty for their price

 

you get what you pay for

 

PaceSetter=Crap

 

I was going to get the Pacesetter exhaust, because yes it is cheap in price. But after I heard sound clips of it, and saw a video of it...I quickly changed my mind..IMO it sounded like complete ass...I quickly went over and got me the GMMP sport..which is way better than the pacesetter.

 

post the link, ill try and get a clip of mine up but it def dosnt sound tht bad. Its just a little raspy but allot of people like that.

 

Everyone knocks pacesetter. Yea their products are not up to par with others, but for the price it can't be beat. I will be doing pacesetter headers on my Camaro shortly. Best bang for the buck. Not everyone can afford stainless.

 

If you use the correct break-in method, the header shouldnt flake, then the header shouldnt rust. If your worried about it rusting then get high heat anti-rust paint. Let it cure and do the break-in process for the header. For the price I would go pacesetter.

A buddy and I installed one on his SS/SC and it had no fitment issues at all.

 

pacesetter sucks... i have the exhaust and header.

header is always leaking and i cant find a way to fix it

exhaust is to long with the header. had to shorten it, and its to raspy

 

well, the pacesetter headers are not a direct fit, There not made to be, there just made for the ecotec, But the cat-bak fits perfect.

 

I have there exhaust too and its raspy because of no resonator, thats partly why it is cheaper. I hate 4 cylinder sound in the first place y pay 600+ for an exhaust system that is always going to sound like **** to me? I think my exhaust sound bettter than most of them out there for the SS/SC anyway!

 

^^^ couldnt have said it better.

 

i think for the extra $100 or $150, the megan is a much better product that gives the ability to tone it down if wanted.
