just in case anyone wanted to know what the build quality was like on the pacesetter header.

 

I don't know much about welding, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it's not that great?

 

yeah the welds are ugly as sin , but there are no gaps and no abstractions , cept for a small dent in one of the primary's insider the collector. ya get what you pay for. but im happy. fuction over form ...

 

Holy Crap that's ugly. Welds look I did them.

 

mine looked great why does yours look like ****

 

welds are terrible they should look like this

 

did they let a 2 year old weld these holy ****

 

yucky welds. but as long as it doesnt leak and they stay together, who cares.

 

That is TIG welding, you wont get that on a MIG setup.

Those are MIG (wire) welds, on the Pacesetter header, and I will agree they are not great. The one photo of the flange and a runner, welded together is what it should look like. It should be smooth.


Only way to make it look like that bike frame is to TIG weld.

 

if your old school and skilled you can do that with a stick (arc) welder, of course your gonna get splater everywere.


but yup, the welds are ugly, but solid , no one will see them so i dont care. lol

 

I do agree they are solid, and you will not have any issues, they just dont look the best (some do and some don't)
