It's better then the stock header

A couple of things you should know. 1. That header has a painted on finish that will bun off after a short period of time. In a litttle more time it will become just about as ugly as the stock header. Unless you strip it and then paint it with 1500 degree ceramic paint your not going to want to lift the hood to show people your engine. Stripping it really ain't that hard though.
2. Several members have said that the pacesetter vibrates and makes noise against the lower cross member, they ended up grinding away at the cross member to clear the header. 3. Some pacesetter owners didn't like the fact that the pacesetter doesn't come with a mesh flex section and ended up paying to have one added on. But then again I'd say plenty of owners didn't care about that. I don't think theirs any reason to say a different header brand would make more power, and you can't beat the price, just depends how you feel now that your a informed buyer.
