That's a sharp G8 you got there. Do you have any mods planned for it?

Thanks, I wish it was red though.
the mods I want to do is:
headers, full exhaust system, vararam intake.
How good is the ceramic pacesetter headers?

Pacesetter headers aren't bad but there's better ones out there. Most guys have Kooks or American Racing headers because they are much better in fit and durability.

I do miss that, but I don't miss buying rear tire's twice a year. Oh and that whole exhibition of speed thing. Its really an art form. Oh and the car looks damn good in black.

The American Racing & Kooks headers can be jet hot coated but I don't know if that's the same as ceramic coating.

Nice, but the GXP does close to the same... The 6 speed makes it seem faster, I know because of my step-dad's. Don't mean to burst your bubble but you did defect.
