Default New Pacesetters

I found a good price on some pacesetter headers and i dont want to pass it up but I'm just worried that with the headers and intake I am still going to run into tune problems. Will a quick program with a diablo do the trick or do I need to go a little further. Also aftermarket headers bolt right up to the stock cat back or do I need some more pipe. And finally I know there was a bit of a fitment problem with the pacesetters does anyone have the newer ones that are supposed to fit better?

With a 04 Goat pacesetters dont make any mids pipes you would have to have some fabbed up at a muffler shop. Also if buying the Pacesetters make sure you get them coated so they dont rust on ya. As for fitment mine are great soempeople say they have ran into problems but I have plenty of room near the rack. Also a good site to go to thats all about the GTO http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/index.php hope that helps

Mike @ diablo sent me a tune for headers, free of charge. do some logging and send the tune back, they will adjust it. or find a local Diablo tuner

Black PS are just painted no High temp coating, which means after awhile the paint will come off and they will start to rust. By coating the headers it helps keep temps down in the engine bay and they will look brand new for along time. Fist pic is the painted black and the 2nd is a coated header
