I really need to get a pace setter down pipe. I dont want to have to weld a flange on my stock piping before my catback exhaust starts.

I dont want to pay 215 for it either LOL . If you can make it I'm open to that too.

hmmm, might wanna look into wether the zzp will work with the pacesetter, i knw they look the same and both are ball type connection, but i think the zzp has the flage sitting at a diffrent angle than the pacesetter, they have their sitting at a 0* angle, if your looking from the inlet to the oulet, and i think the zzp has their at a off set, not sure, some on clarify this...im at work so i cant get to zzp's site

if the zzp downpipe has the same bolt up just like the stock downpipe,then it wont work with the pacesetter header.I will say it once more,longtube headers will need to have a custom downpipe made,only thing you can do with that zzp header is actually cut off the end,then weld the weird looking metal piece to the downpipe then bolt up the pacesetter that way,you may run into a few problems or maybe 1 problem if you do it right the first time.If you go with the exhaust depot one,the guy has it listed as will prevent a cell light and also has a resanator to prevent the raspy ****.like me I have just a fully straight piping then it bends to connect right up to the pacesetter,it has some what of raspy sound,but I am going to go over it again to make sure if there is no air leaks on the 2 welding spots,also you will need a hanger to support the depending on the size of the piping as well for the downpipe...its a lot of work and it will take you more then just a day to get the **** done,depending on how much experience and also it was me and my brother doing it,if we had at least 1 more person to help out then **** would of been done in 1 day,it took 2 days tops,but I have to wait for the stupid 02 sensor to come in at autozone so I can install that.Also no I am not wasting gas surprisingly.I am wasting gas the same way I usually do.Since people said 02 sensors helps out with fuel or whatever.I will give you a good example,my brother did a custom exhaust system 3 in half,custom downpipe catless, and bbk headers.had the o2 sensors hooked up and it didn't prevent the cel light.Sometimes a car will like what you have done to it and then some others will throw bitch fits.So you wont even have get cat. converter possible,only way to find out is plugging in those 02 sensors.

Well I get CEL light anyways from my cold air intake onn and off. It keeps making the system run too lean. I am gettin a **** ton of air w/ my current setup.

I am pretty sure were just going to cut off the ball socket off the pace setter, connect the downpipe & high flow cat to my exhaust then perhaps flex pipe the difference between downpipe and cat? What you think?

when you recieve the pacesetter you will know the reason why its totally different from shorty headers,the way the pacesetter bolts up is weird and a pain to deal with,but in the long run it is worth it.even though my car is loud now but I can hear the sound of the header and it is a nice tone,but the downpipe of mine is 97% completed in my view, need the hanger,02 sensors need to be hook up again,high flo cat possible,and need to check the welding on two parts of the downpipe to make sure 100% that there is no air leaks.

its a custom 2.5 exhaust system actually,no resanator either which kind of sucks but oh well.and the muffler I am probably going to change actually into a cherry bomb glasspack possible.I could try and do something and have the video up as a photobucket thing
