Default Pacesetters???

Hey ive heard that pacesetters headers are real back about cracking because they dont take heat very well.
I was just wondering if anyone could verify that.

Mine fit perfectly, no problems anywhere, and minimal surface rust after two WV winters.

I'd say it's about a 0 hp difference between the two. Hookers cost more, they don't perform better.

Yeah, but you gotta do it, just once. My Dad came over right after I got mine installed. I said "Hey dad, reach in there and hit the key" He came outta there so fast he almost banged his head on the T-tops.

the powerstick turned out great! i just have some tweaking to do to get the tips to sit right. and im gonna make it so the tips dont move at all when i rev it. i think it looks dumb lol. but it turned out to be very throaty and deep which is waht i like... and when its cold when i let off the throttle and decelerate it pops some... i kinda like that lol

Most definitely. I'm surprised I haven't caught **** from the neighbors yet. We also had a friend of ours show up in his chopper motorcycle with some insanely large motor in it (144ci or something like that). And the garage I was working at, is kind of in a hole with concrete walls surrounding everything...so there was quite the echo
