Default pacesetters installed(forgot I had a radio)

Got my Pacesetter LTs installed Saturday. All I can say is WOW. Through the GMMG this thing is wicked. I was worried about the sound because alot of people talk about drone. I have none. I dont know if it is because of my stall but this thing sounds badass. IT is loud. At idle its not to bad but put the pedal down and people start running.
I havent had the radio on since the install because I love listening to this thing.
The install went well. A few problems as with anything but very nice fitment. I had to retap a bolt hole on the head but after that it was smooth sailing. No codes and car seems to run great. I actually picked up clearance from my shorty headers and slp y-pipe(for sale if anyone is interested).
I would recommend these headers for the price. And thanks James from speed engineering for the great price and service.

Hmmm, my headers are starting to corrode and have burnt transmission fluid all over the Y, time for some new ones, pacesetters will be my choice.
My buddy has them on his cammed TA, but they tuck up REAL close. With the cut-out open, at WOT, they rattle so bad it sounds like a machine gun. It acutally sounds badass and scary as hell. WE went from a punch before, and the exhaust note was so loud(cut out pointing out on passenger side), my left ear felt like it was gonna pop. It hurt like hell.

Sweet set up man. If I ever get some extra money to get GMMG to mate with my pacesetters, I would be all over it for sure.

I actually know what you mean by machine gun sound now. I drove through a valley and hopped on the pedal a bit and it sounded like machine gun fire. Absolutely sick. I know Im gonna get pulled over.
