You did a great job on the vid , I still think I would rather have the durability of a stainless exhaust . but that sounds decent and u cant beat the price. hope it lasts for you.

well, if the tranny wont go out first, it'll be the pacesetter exhaust that'll rust out first.

Honestly, being a mechanic myself, you are damaging the tranny by shifting as if you had a manual.

GM loves to see it though, means they'll have a customer coming back for service! So for mechanics, such as I, keep it up, we'll be happy to replace it.

The pacesetter is alright at best, but I've heard better on the cobalts.

i've bolted on a pacesetter before, pair of headers on a 351 ford. Just the quality of the tubing and the welds was tackey. They even put scrap metal in between their gaps and tried to weld it to cover it... wtf!!! soon as they rust out, upgrading in a hurry lol.

the welds and material rust thru rather quickly as to compare against other brands.

Don't think too bad about it. My mom's boyfriend scraped a nice scratch in my fender and around the bumper. 1200 for repair that he is paying for. My car only has 250 miles on it too.

Anyways, nice deep sound with the car. Any feeling in acceleration?

sounds good. Im glad I got to hear it before I bought it. All companies should have something like this for their customers so they know what they are getting, along with a DYNO sheet. Anybody know on the life on this exhaust in say... upstate NY... Also the life of a stock exhaust...

later

dyno results are always different. Every company would have to use the same exact dyno with the same exact syncro and software. Otherwise, they can lie out their asses more than they already do.
