There is no hype really (none that I've noticed at least

) but there is some attention towards their low price when compared to the very similar Hookers/Jet Hots...they're much cheaper yet appear to be nearly as good except in the area of rust (they might rust sooner).

If they only had a decent Y pipe to go along with the headers.

Anyone steped up to make a Y pipe for the PS longtubes?

Mufflex has a great looking y-pipe for the Hooker/Jet-Hot longtubes. Will it work with the Pacesetters as well?

I'm very happy with my Pacesetters, and as far as i've read they've changed the design of the Y-pipe, as of which i seem to have the newer one. No complaints here.
