I GOT MINE FOR $135.00 AMERICAN... lol
umm... i think the racing beat and the pacesetter are performance wise... the same... only thing different is rb is stainless steel and pacesetter is polished coated or black... and the o2 sensor bung is reading only one exhaust tube instead of the rb's collector bung.... the bung on the pacesetter is the only thing i dont like about my pacesetter

RB's aren't stainless, they're nickel plated (or some other shiny coating) for corosion protection. RB's also have a lifetime warranty. When you burn through the pacesetter and you have to buy another one you'll spend more than the RB had you just gotten it first.

So when exactly will my pacesetter get a hole in it? Ive had it for over a year.

Where are you guys buying these headers from? I'm looking for a turbo manifold for a 60-1 turbo. Where can I get one of those for a decent price? My friend had a Pace Setter header on his CRX and it burnt out after six months and sounded like ***. Maybe he just had no luck.

I hear people lose power with the pacesetters over stock manifolds... they are just crap. the welds go into the pipes and block half of them.

I have a pacesetter.... car sounds like a chainsaw

Performancewise, I am quite happy with it. I'd say it's a good value for the price.

I am pretty sure that RB uses stainles steel I have the DUALs which are made with RB parts and all of it is stainless even on the inside.

I beg to differ seeing as my ceramic coating is starting to burn off my header... That wouldn't happen if it were stainless.

No thats their Y-pipes, their header has pretty good welds in it. Right now Im running Pacesetter header and a modified Y-pipe, and they hold up fine as far as corosion or wear.
