Give me the Pacesetter Low Down!!
Give me the Pacesetter Low Down!! I might be picking up some pacesetter headers for $200 bucks brand new, I know the guy don't worry, but I would like to know what to look out for.
Any thing in particular that I should stay away from? They are for 98s and I am waiting ofr a PM reply.
Thanks Kevin.

i think he meant lost a couple of tenths as in went from say a 13.5 to a 13.3..that was with a bad O2 so he should be able to lower his time even more...thats how i interpreted it..but could be wrong

i for one thing the pacesetters are a beautiful piece, do not be discouraged from them, for the price they cant be beat imo. its the ypipe that is a pain for your average mechanic, it requires some finessing but once mine was in place its fine, doesnt bang at all, i still need to get some band clamps cuz the exhaust shop expanded the openings too much and it leaks a little.

I kind of wish I had the new TSP true dual system... I bought one of their rumbler catbacks when those first came out, along with my Pacesetters and off-road Y. For the same amount of money as the ORY and Rumbler, I could have had a Rumbler X and done away with the y-pipe system all together. 
Oh well... at least I don't seem to have the same kind of headaches as other people have with the Pacesetter Y-pipe. Mine only bangs under very low load (like when the clutch slips at low rpms and there's lots of clutch chatter vibrating the car)... no banging at all on hard shifts, at WOT, while cruising, if I leave a light at anything more than an idle, etc.

as soon as you think you waited long enough for the best option to come out for you/car not long after they make something even more to your liking. If you can get your hands on the true dual setup somehow though I would recommend it. I love my pacesetters with my true duals. My car will never have a y-pipe again...unless i have to put it back to stock to sell it Lynda

I would like a true dual setup though... so perhaps sometime down the road when I need something else to tinker with after my next round of mods (I'm installing a cam in a couple of weeks, then a clutch) I may get a Rumbler X system.
