Default Pacesetter Install Problem

The install has been relatively easy just a little time consuming. We got the headers bolted on and the egr dont line up with the egr flange on the drivers side header. I have not checked the passenger side yet. We are planning on cutting the cars egr and rewelding it to line up with the egr header flange. Was this a factory screw up or something I just dont know. I have a 98 trans am. Please give me some input.

i had the same problem, i just bent the egr tubes, they bend easy, for them to line up, pacesetter put the egr ports on the top for easy access, they didnt consider to check to see if they would line up

You have headers for a 00, 01 or 02. Those are your AIR tubes, not EGR. BTW the EGR flange on the passenger side header will be in a different location also.

Plus if you are going to go to the trouble of cutting the factory egr and stuff you might as well just do block off plates.

Or order your headers without that stuff in the first place

I didnt order them, I got the second hand and the guy told me they were 98-99. Any ways, guess I will try to make them line up. THanks.

A week after I installed my pacesetters, I ripped off all the AIR and EGR crap. I should have just ordered the no emissions headers but oh well. Just delete it. you'll be happy you did once you see how much crap comes out. There's a good how to if you search.
