Default pacesetters finally in!!

well, first off i want to give a big thanks to blkbrd for helping with the install. it took about 6 hours to get everything done. the quality and finish of the pacesetter were really good. ( i dont know why i would pay an extra 800 bucks when the pacesetters are just as good!). they tucked up really nice and tight. no issues at all besides the fact that we had to grind a piece of the block off. both headers went in smoothly. the pacesetter y pipe was nice also. i think it might be better than the hooker ory.

as far as seat of the pants and sound, all i can say is that i am HAPPY & IMPRESSED!! LT's + ORY + MAGNAFLOW sounds really good. nice sounding. i thought i was gonna be disappointed. its sounds a little louder at idle, but inside the car is smooth. i also barely have any rasp with this setup. i highly suggest this setup. as far as the performance of the headers, i got nice crisp throttle response and also when i go wide open throttle you can definitely feel the power pulling up the power band. really woke my car up. just my .02 cents.. really happy with the setup. you guys wont be disappointed!!

Cant wait to install the Pace LT's ORY with the Magnaflow. I'll agree with you there, Magnaflow souds badass with LT's with ORY. Throw a cutout in there and it sounds like a bitch in heat.
