Who has The Oldest Pacesetters???
Who has The Oldest Pacesetters??? So I am wondering who has the oldest Pacesetters. My reasoning on this, is I want to know how well they hold up for long periods of time. I am thinking about purchasing them, but I live in Michigan..... The only plus is that I don't drive my car in the snow, it is stored all winter 
....
So lets see:
1. How long you've had them
2. What kind of weather conditions you drive in
3. How much corrosion\rust is on them
Any info is greatly appreciated guys!! Let's see how helpful LS1Tech regulars can be ONCE AGAIN!

This is a great thread, for I would also like to know this. I put my Z28 up for winter, and she comes out in May.
I am debating between Coated Pacesetters and Kooks Stainless right now....

Im in texas, so no salt on my roads, or headers. I have had my headers on since last summer and no rust yet, except on the collector on the bottomside where I scraped them, but thats my fault.

I live in Texas too, little over a year so far with my Pacesetters on my DD Z28. Just minor rust on the end flanges, but not bad really. I try to get under there at least once a month and clean them up good, but besides that Im satisfied for the price.
my pacesetters are rusting a bit on the insides and the rust started after only a couple months. its been about 1.5 yrs and i live in southern cali. Pacesetters ftw if youre on a budget. otherwise, get kooks.
I can't recall exactly when I bought my Pacesetters, but I can tell you that I got in on the very first batch they sold here on LS1Tech. I'd guess 4 years ago. The only place my coating its coming off is on the bottom of the collectors. I'm going to sand them and spray on some silver high temp paint. Other than that, they still look good.
Oh, and my car is not a daily driver. Has only seen rain a handful of times.

Well i live in Texas too but we do get some snow...not a whole lot maybe like 3-4 inches at a time but my car is a DD and sees the snow the rain and the salt from the roads.....2yrs old still look great, but i get under the car and clean them off once a month or so.

i live in michigan had them on for about a year and no sign of rust,dont drive it in the snow but has been out in rain a couple of times
Voted for 3+ years.
1. Since late '03
2. It's my DD, the car sees rain, sleet, snow.(although arkansas weather isn't too harsh)
3. There is hardly any rust on the primaries in the engine bay, but under the car the coating is kinda peeling off and rusting,
But so far im happy. They still look good unless you get under the car, and its only light surface rust.
