Pacesetter Exhaust

If anyone has a pacesetter exhaust system can they tell me what it comes with. Not the header just the system. I know people say they are not nearly as good as RB but I only need a muffler and i want one that will mount like the origonal. Does the system come with the muffler and all the pipe that goes up to the header??? I can get one for really cheap so i need o know soon.

The "system" consists Of a header and a Y adapter that goes to the stock cat. The muffler has the over the axle pipe. So everything in between you need to provide.

I know that that RB is better but thats not what I was asking. Why don't you actually read the post before you reply.

Neh, they're alright. I got one on my car now and I can't say it's horrible. heh, if that's any help, there ya go.

I guess if you've got the money, go with RB, otherwise you pay for what you get I suppose?

i have a pace setter header
got if for 60$
if you clean up the header welds, and put a decent system behind it, they will do just as well as any RB system

but they definalty arent worth it for new

I'm not gonna pay full price i can get it for what the store pays for it which is way cheaper than normal. I'm not getting the head because i know the headers are no good. Im talking about the muffler.

get a big @$$ truck muffler, flame cut it open, then take the walls out. Weld together and cut a big hole where the outlet is. IT sounds and flows great. yes its loud though.
