Would buying a pacesetter exhaust and header be a good idea?? I meen is it a good brand?

 

In my opinion no. I consider pacesetter to be a crappy name brand, but that is just my opinion.

 

for a s2 ss/sc I will say pass

 

ill say no dont get it

 

I have one on my LS. As far as the performance goes, I didn't really notice a difference but didn't expect to. I bought at a junkyard where it was sitting in the snow all winter and as far as the quality goes it is holding up just fine.

 

yeah if u have an lsj i would say not worth it at all but you can always try.. the primarys are to small for our cars.. its like a stock header dp ... a non shorty version*( i beleave they call them long tubes)

 

is there another brand even close to the price of pacesetter tho? I havent seen one.
I saw the pacesetter for under 200 for the header.

 

their junk

 

DO NOT BUY buddy of mine bought and had to throw away within a year even after welding up all the time from cracking and rusting out. Extremely cheaply made

 

Man, didnt know they were this bad. Guess thats why they is cheap though.

 

get haun racecraft or magnaflow both good brands

 

i know im a 2.2 but i have a pacesetter header and it works just fine got it on ebay for 170 and its ceramic coated also...i know its not the best but it def best bang for your buck for sure...have had it for about 2 years now no problems

 

I have Vibrant catback, ZZP Hiflow catted downpipe and CA V2 header and it sounds like sex and with the mods I'm installing now a 3" will be beneficial along with very high quality

 

::looks at dyno sheets, then looks at header::

pacesetter is junk eh?

i'll be damned. maybe that's why i pulled more power from my lsj than 99% of the people on here. yes, thats it. my HTC coated pacesetter header sucks.

 

ive had a pacesetter for 2+ years and its still good as the day i got it. Last dyno was 253whp on a crappy tune and no meth...going back soon.

 

Good company, had their header and exhaust on my old 96 neon way back in the day and it was great quality for the price! Alot better then the OBX **** out there.........

 

And im pretty sure its made in the U.S.A...for thos who care like me.

 

I have the catback but replaced the muffler with a different one. Quality seems good though. Looks like new and its a year old.

 

i have a ss/sc stg 2 and i have just a pacesetter 2.5inch catback it cost me 180 bucks shipped brand new and sounds pretty good for the money, not to loud but deffinatley louder than stock (backfires and gurgles alot to)

 

i have the pacesetter header on my car, the LSJ version, 1.75' primaries, 2.5" collector, equal lenght, works fine for me, only had it on for 2 months though, so idk about lifespan, but as far as getting the job done, its holding up good, no dyno #'s yet though

 

OP I see that you are new on this site.. So ill give you a good tip. Do yourself a favor and listen to exactly what this guy has to say..

 

Pacesetter is not junk at all. We sell alot of there stuff at my store here and they are no Hahn but this guy is looking for something affordable and Pacesetter would be a good "inexpensive" decent quality brand. I personally have the Hahn but its way higher price than that of Pacesetter. Dont feel bad if you go this way as that is where I started and the ceramic coated header holds up fine.

 

I had a pacesetter exhaust.. loved it...

The pacesetter header is actually one of the better performing headers. Mod it slightly (make some holes bigger) and youll have yourself a dandy little setup.

 

Now Brian, you know we are not a company and you nor I know wtf we are talking about....


I have yet to see a current TVS groupbuy car break 300. I cracked 318 on my "piece of ****" pacesetter. If price means quality, we all got screwed by buying cobalts

 

The ONLY **** thing I have to say about pacesetter is the custom downpipe part, but what can ya do.
