Default Pacesetters

Ive been hearing that pacsetters vibrate a lot. I was looking as buying some here in a week or two. Do they vibrate a lot, should I go with some other brand?

I don't recall seeing that as a common complaint. I would take a guess that people who don't tighten theirs periodically or fasten them down properly just happen to have Pacesetters. Since they seem to be one of the most commonly used, based on sigs here.

I like the Pacesetter's alot for the dollar. Mine don't vibrate at all. None of my friends have vibration problems either. I've installed 2 sets of them with ease.

Where did you hear that? I have basicly lived on thiss board for over a year and I have never heard that any header vibrates. It doesnt make sense to me really.

no virations here...only rust.

I'd suggest a set of stainless headers if you have AC or are in a humid/wet/snowy part of the country.

I think they meant the y was rattling or something was making noise and annoying them. So your prob right with the y pipe part.
