I had mine for about 8 months and they were great, but my car got totaled, and this time around I think I am gonna go stainless, but for the price of the pacesetters you cant beat them!

so maybe a little bit of rust spots after a while, nothing major? Man, funny how nobody has even said they've owned it longer than PewterY2KZ28 (which is a "couple" of years)? I mean, NO ONE's had these longer than 5 yrs who's checked this out? I know you ol' timer still occasionally creep around here. Help us new guys out!

Good stuff guys, great feedback. Keep em comin!

I have actually only had mine since late last summer, only a couple thousand miles, and already bubbling/peeling off the bottom of the passenger header. Here's the thread:

I have had mine on for a few months on now and I have had 0 problems. They fit great and I felt a SOTP difference. Best $500 I have ever spent!

Love my pacesetter race header/TSP O/R Y-pipe/ Hooker catback combo. Sounds insane at full throttle and quiet as a mouse going down the highway.

I've had mine for over a year and they still look great. Excellent fit and easy install. Great header for the price.

I've had mine for over 2 years with ZERO issues. They went on easy and still look as good as when I installed them. Well, they look good from the top, but the collectors and the bottom part of the tubes have some blemishes. All it is, is when I drive in the rain it's dusty/dirty as hell down here so it's essentially dirty water that has splashed on them. I tried a small spot and I can polish it off if I want, but since my car gets driven in all weather it would be pointless. For the price I say Pacesetters FTW!

On a side note, avoid their ORY... It sucks the nutz. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find several threads as to why.

Sucks the nutz! lol, nice!

there seem to be some that don't have issues with it, but there are enough to warrant a deeper look. I hear ya. TSP really had a decent deal. I'm probably a bit further than I thought from getting these right now like I originally though, but for sure by the end of the spring. But since there seems to be decent interest, PLUS theres no long time owner responding, I want to leave this up and keep it going.

Who responded "NO" and couldn't leave feedback?

Love mine. Going on two years, just a little rust on the bottom, no problems. Got mine coated from TSP with a catted Y. Wish I had gone a different route on the Y pipe, or learned not to use U clamps before I got the system

Install was easy... a million times easier than an LT1

Only a few days, love em so far, except for this small leak I can't seem to find. I think it's coming from the passenger side header near the heads.

I don't have them but my buddy has had them for about a year and loves them. He has the armor coated ones and it took like 4-5 hours to do them and has no issues. They sound and look great and aren't that expensive.
