I never seen/heard a pacesetter in person, but the general census is that it is utter crap.

Good thing you have so many experiences to make that statement. I think alot of their products aren't very well designed, but go ask a Ls1Tech type forum what header for their application. 95% of them will tell you Pacesetter. They seem to be all over the place in quality, but at least the one on my old CRX seemed to hold up after 50k miles.

I can't say the same for the early Racing Beat **** I've had. Does it mean that Racing Beat is ****?

It's Pacesetter, the only thing that works is the garbage can. I have a Pacesetter header with some ghetto rigged straight thing into the cat then stock from there back.

Pacesetter sucks. Period.

Like I said, go ask the Ls1 forum.

They're headers are the best bang for the buck for an Ls1 powered car. Even 900HP cars run their headers.

Thanks for giving us you elite knowledge.

Ah, I got good donuts but now I have to replace all of my hangers.

Looks like Racing Beat is about to have their way with me again. I had the exhaust on for about 15 minutes tday. I had to admit it was eurphoric.

thanx for all the info guys, it took some time to get it but now I got it. I liek the look of four pipes comin out the back plus I dont feel like spending any more money on exhaust, so today im taking the header down to a mffler shop to bend it an inch and a half so the damn thing will fit.

The link works now. It wasn't earlier today. I'll have to call these guys, they don't list the fc3s exhaust on their website.

Damn! I've been spamming that Borla exhaust all over the place. Maybe I accidently brought them business?

Their e-mail communication was poor, but I do admit their customer service was legit however. Check eBay, there are always people selling new exhausts on eBay.

Good luck yo.
