I am looking for feedback from anyone with Pacesetter LT's and high flow cats.
Pics would be great too.

I doubt many have this setup since it would need generic 2.5" cats custom fit as the stock cats would be a no go. I wonder if the kooks mid pipes would even be close on the collector side.

^^ this, you would have to do custom highflow cats. You wont find any to "bolt up" to the pacesetters. Your best bet is to go to summit of some other company and find some weld in cats to make this work.
If you live in chicago come down to indy for the v meet on the 12th. I have pacesetters with no cats to magnaflow catback and you can hear it and some of the other guys setups to see what will get you what you want.

I have Pacesetter longtimes with no cats. You'll need to work something into it to get some cats on it. You'll definitely end up needing rear o2 sensor wire extensions.

I am thinking about coming down. I already have Pacesetter's connected to a Magnaflow exhaust. I am not a big fan of the smell and the connecting pipes seem to have a leak.
Is it as simple as retightening the bolts on the Pacesetter connecting pipes or is this a common problem?

I had to take my magnaflow connecting pipes to a exhaust shop and had them flare the flanges a little more so they would connect a little better. Since i did that the exhaust leak was gone but the only way youll get rid of the smell is some sort of cats. I also found that i couldnt take the car to them for them to remove and flare the ends. I had to take them off myself and i took both the magnaflow and the header extension pieces to the exhaust shop so they had something to go by. Everyone is so up tight about working on something thats illegal.....go figure...lol

I am thinking about replacing the Pacesetter connecting pipes with http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160776939854
