Ok guys, I'm trying to get my final exhaust setup for my car. Current is stock manifolds, stock y, 3 inch from the y back with a dynomax bullet. I plan on putting pacesetter lts, with 3 inch duals with no cats, dumped right in front of the rear axel. My cousin seems to think it would be way too loud but that's what I'm after. And this is my setup for my car and my final plan for my is a track only car.

My car is not a daily driven car and I hardly ever drive it. I mean if it's going to be insanely loud I would consider maybe extra pipe out the back until then but I drove my car with an open y pipe and it wasn't ridiculous.

Basically any opinion on it from someone who has been in a car with a similar setup?

Man it's not that bad at all. It's really not. Remove the carpet and it's a different story. My car was high compression heads and cam as well.

Why Pacesetter and not TSP though? I'd want it to last (ie stainless).

Just be sure to angle the turndowns 45* towards the tires, and not directly down at the road.

Here's my first start after the heads and cam swap... Obviously a cold motor.

I was gonna go with pacesetter ceramics. I want it last as well hints the ceramic. I have done some research and found many people happy with the pacesetters for the price. I mean if they were garbage I wouldn't consider them but they're not. I don't think you can beat getting ceramic long tubes for 400 bucks.

Texas speed has stainless headers for a $100 bucks more I do believe.

Or you can get the Speed Engineering for around 300 I think... I'd definitely go stainless before anything pacesetter has to offer.

I will consider the speed engineering long tubes. Does anyone have any experience with them? And is there really any noticeable difference between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8?

I had 1 3/4 Speed Engineering longtubes installed on my car. Shop didn't bitch about the fit, so I'm assuming they went in just fine. Quality looked decent

The speed engineering headers are great for the money. Fit great too

I once entered my car in a muffler rap contest with stock motor and 1 3/4" Pacesetters and TSP true duals with the sweet thunder mufflers dumped. Measured with a decibel meter, it won the contest with 123 db reading. It was a fun setup for awhile, but I grew tired of it.

My car with 1 7/8ths longtubes, 3 inch x pipe, and dumped bullets before the axle REALLY pissed my neighbors off, I can tell you that... Driving through a parking garage is so bad it's embarrassing.

It's awesome. DO IT.

Texas Speed Stainless Steel headers are 379.00 for 1-3/4'' and 409.00 for 1-7/8'' right now.

1-7/8'' really benefit at high horsepower (more than 500 at wheels), but don't hurt stock power cars either.

I have pacesetters and they are OK but If I could re do I would with Texas Speed ones.

the ceramic "armor-coat" doesn't last. My LTs are rusted to ****. Good thing the Huron Speed turbo kit will arrive soon. Hehe

Ok, now does anyone think 3 inches is too big for a fairly stock car? I've had my thoughts on this. I mean eventually it will be a heads, BIG cam and bottle fed.

No. It's fine. Perfectly fine.

x2 for the SE 1 7/8". Easiest header install I've ever done.
