Default Pacesetter Longtubes Install

So I installed my pacesetter LT lastnight, and I gotta say is was farely easy. After I got the old ones out the new ones slid in easily. Passenger and driver side were easy. Fitment is great too! Lookin forward to hookin up the Ypipe and Boral catback tonight.

Take your time peicing together the y-pipe. It can become very frustrating to get all the angles right. Just take your time and if you get messed up don't be afraid to take the y-pipe all apart and start over. That's what I had to do to get it on and tucked up really nice under the body.

Yet another testament to why Pacesetter are so well known for their ease of fitment. Nice man!

Did you have to use a lift for the install or regular floor jack? Also is a welder needed to finish the job? Thanks!

Congrats on the install!! Looking forward to doing mine very soon

You can do it wit a regular floor jack and jack stands. I did mine that way. You don't need a welder per se, but it's a nice way to ensure you remain leak free. I had my Y pipe and cat welded after I installed my headers

grats on the easy install. I know when I installed mine in 2005... they were a pain in the ***... especially the passenger side rear bolt.
