I just wrote an email the other day to Pacesetter and received this response for a full exhaust for the SS/SC:

Looks like another company we can look forward to for a full exhaust. I've never really dealt with Pacesetter before but I know they have full exhaust for Corvette's and Camaro's and I'm not sure but isn't Pacesetter on Ferrari's too? Not that our car is a Ferrari but it must be good quality

 

Yikes, I had a pacesetter exhaust on my cougar, it dyno'd 5whp less than stock.

 

oops. Then that would suck

 

you know i always heard the urban legend about someone saying that, but not a single person could come up with a dynosheet. i just don't believe it cause i had one and other than the tips rusting, it was great, 1/3 the cost of a borla and sounded just like it, if not better. i got alot of compliments form it.. absolutely no rasp even when you let off at WOT

 

pacesetter is junk lol

 

yeah they are, i won't argue one bit... but they sound good. and they're so cheap if you don't like it, it's not a big deal to replace it in a year.. hell you'll have to replace it every 3 years anyway cause it'll rust out on you, but the point being when you can get a full cat back w/resonator and dual exit for $230 shipped, and others cost $600-$700, if you don't like the $600 exhaust, you're not going to just sell it on ebay for $50, you'll be stuck with what you don't like for a long time lol

i honestly just like them cause the sound is awesome and they are basically throw away exhausts for those of us who don't want to spend $700 on a borla

 

ive had 2 pacesetter headers on my cars and over 5 years neither has given me problems. ill admit pacesetter used to be shitty back in the day but now their products are quite nice. i recommend pacesetter from my own experiences.

 

i just bought mine last year and i can affirm that the quality was still pretty shitty on the cougar exhaust systems, but god damned if it didn't sound f'n good

 

ive heard many times that their exhaust systems suck ass but i stand firmly behind thier headers

 

never had their headers. i know a few open wheels that used them, but most of the latemodels we owned use hooker or msds (which i think msds is possibly the absolute best header mfr. that exhists) but that's only from the dirt ovals, when on the strip it goes to a million different choices of mfr's for headers

 

Eric posts here, I'm sure he'll have a comment. My experience with my Pacesetter header on my Civic has been mixed.

 

the older stuff was made in mexico

ive had my header and love it , all my friends have the pacesetter header/s

the exhaust systems are aluminized steel tubing , and it is better suited to a dry climate during the winter , ie......... no road salt

road salt will eat even low grades of stainless

several cars ive heard (cavaliers , trucks a few other sport spopacts) sounded pretty decent , in some cases a resonator is needed on the sport compact stuff

 

im guessing you never used that VIP pass i sent you , LOL

and way to kick the cat outta the bag EROD , LOL


have you had any problems with the copper gasket ??


and there have been alot of changes going on , more so with the way all the flanges are being done and finished now


the cavalier headers have been 1 of the more dependable headers


im not gonna say much tell after sema

 

No, once you sent me the replacement gasket, and I replaced the nylon inserted nuts on the header, its been fine.

Didin't know it was a secret you worked there? Sorry if so.

 

nah no secret


most of the locals know already

i was more trying to keep it kinda quiet , because of the whole supporting vendor thing , even though we are a manufacture , and not a vendor

 

well quit posting and get busy making an exhaust that sounds like the 99-02 cougar setup, cause i want one asap lol

 

Had one on my '00 cavi and had no problems. and it sounded sweeeeet no high pitched rice whine Hey 97cavi24ls if you work for or develope for Pacesetter I'll be the guinea pig for you guy's

 

ive never heard the cougar with the pacesetter catback on it , lol


and ive already got a couple lined up , but i do keep optios open for any one , just incase someone cant fit in the time frame we need

 

Eric, I didn't know you worked for Pacesetter?

 

Oh man did it sound good though

 

So if Pacesetter is poop then why does Ferrari use them? Or maybe they don't? If they do I would assume it would be good quality unless the spend EXTRA time on making them good for the Ferrari's

 

i had a post in our region , when we were looking for a 2.2 cobalt



and we have nothing to do with ferrari , never have

 

my mistake. the horse screws me up

 

it does for alot of people , LOL

 

So let me know when you need a 2.0 to experiment on!!
