pacesetter monza exhaust

i am really looking into buying this exhaust just because its only $240 at turbotechracing. i figured the tubing is good because its mandrel bent and where i live it doesnt snow very much for it to rust. also if i didn't like the sound of the muffler i could always just cut it off and weld a magnaflow on. does anyone think this would be a good idea or not and why? also does anyone know how big the tip is on this exhaust?

thanks

I had it, and it sounds like poo. There is no res so the rasp sounds awful. If you do buy it i suggest picking up a magnaflow resenator and having it installed at the same time.

Cutting the Pacesetter muffler off and replacing it with a pricey Magnaflow muffler kinda defeats the purpose of going the "cheap route" in the first place. Also, Pacesetter is garbage IMO. My friend had a Pacesetter Monza cat-back on his Accord a few years ago and it fell apart. The tip rusted, the piping rusted, and it sounded like crap. I say spend the extra dough and get a nice cat-back from the likes of Magnaflow, ARK, Corsa, GMPP, Megan Racing, etc etc.....

i had one on my 2.2 when i had it.. by itself, it was great. sounded good, zero rust, nothing wrong with it at all. once i put on other exhaust parts it sounded like **** though. and that's even after i had a big resonator welded in. the pacesetter doesn't come with any resonator on it.

if you ever plan on doing other exhaust work (header/downpipe) i would strongly advise against the pacesetter.

if you have no plans on doing anything else, then get it and save the money.

I forgot the tip. The cobalt system comes with a really nice tip.
