Pacesetter Header-Back Exhaust??

[Soopitup]

Just wondering If anyone has put in the pacesetter header, high flow cat and catback system, looking for some feedback. I dont want a car that sounds like it has a pop can for a muffler... I want a nice deep tone!!

[labeledsk8r]

the pacesetter catback isnot very great one deep done over 3,000 rpms.... the muffler cant breath... i had a pacesetter header, spoon sports converter (glass pack resignator) and the pacesetter catback on my LX and anything over 3,000 rpms sound really high pitched and raspy.... mostly the cat backs mufflers fault... everytihng is good on that except the muffler

[Soopitup]

awsomethanks alot, i'll just buy the header set, and custom make a system back from that...
could someone please recommend the best size exhaust piping...
I was thinkin 2" - 2 1/2"

[labeledsk8r]

2.25 would be best .... 2.5 max... unless your going turbo.. then your in a whole difrent ballpark

[Soopitup]

wicked, I wouldn't mind having a greddy or dc sports muffler at all...they both are very nice looking and sounding... any good sites to check out just for mufflers/cats?

[coope]

get a magnaflow i got a pacesetter header and 2.25 with no resenator or cat this Mississippi they dont care about emissions its still raspy tho

[fogged]

I run a pacesetter header, spoon sports glass pack, and a DC can on 2.25 pipe. It has a real deep note under 2500rpm and thing over that and I piss off old ppl and the cops. They cant say shit because here in Kansas we dont have any smog laws, so f#@k em'. :)

I have this system from head to bumper, the noise level is not a problem. You will find that after the install you most likely will have a vibration/noise. Members on this site recommend either putting a flex piece in place of the ball fit and or replacing the front ball joints. I have found that I have the noise and looks like the ball joints will fix the problem for me. Other then that I like my exhaust and found it to fit well.

Hey soopitup... im still waiting to hear what insurance is doing with my car, but if I can keep it... I'll be parting some stuff out, and I have a 2.25" cat back exhaust with magnaflow twin tip muffler and resonator i'd part with for pretty cheap.

[Soopitup]

sweet dude, but I would rather custom make my own, I love to do all my own work ;) What can I say, I am a total gearhead.

Thats awsome dude, you should totally post a sound clip of it ;)

[snoopyloopy]

my 2.25" on my old accord wasn't too bad, even with the ricer muffler. vids/soundclips on my youtube (same sn).

[Soopitup]

Sounds like you have a full tank of rice dude... I'm talkin nice low deep tone, saul good, Pleanty of time to fuck around with exhaust

[88Accord-DX]

What size is that pipe past the down-pipe to the cat that pacesetter sells with the header? Need to figure out if I want to get something bigger.

[Toneloc5145]

I have the pacesetter exhaust as well, and the sound is not loud at all, and it sounds very good. It has a deep tone from idle to about 3,000 where the engine sound takes over. I'll post a video of it tomorrow.

[Soopitup]

wicked dude, thanks alot

i have the Whole pacesetter system Header to muffler.... and i really hate the sound of the mufller soo much that im gettin a new one... perhaps a flowmaster.. the pacesetter muffler does have a mellow sound at idle but mine has a trashy metalic "tight" highpitched sound when actually hittin the gas while driveing. its sooo annoying... but the header and downpipe ect... are really not bad for the money.. but the gaskets that come with the pacesetter are a bit questionable quality wise.... but yeah hope this helps ya some.




Oh and Too Fogged:
Dude i live here in KCMO bro i have a few cop friends that patrol over in lenexa, we should meet up, and if u want i can have on of my cop buddys keep the streets clean if we wana Drag! :D:P hit me up dude

[itzdave]

i have the pacesetter header and downpipe. after that, i just had the muffler dude make a 2.25 pipe all the way back with a flowmaster at the end, with a little chrome tip. sounds grrrrreat below about 3k, then gets a lil ricey... no cat, no resonator tho...

[lgoldtop]

yeah, ive got the pacesetter header and downpipe and then made my custom from cat back it sounds hella good but i dont like the whole "monza" setup they have for our car so i just went with the header and downpipe

[import racer]

get a cherrybomb turbo i have one on my lx and it sounds good nice mellow sound.i don't have a header though,don't know how much of a diference that would make.

[cowtownexi]

sorry to steal the thread. but i felt this could go here.

i'm doing the exhaust on my 89 exi from the flex pipe back upping the tubing to 2.25 from 2". i put a magnaflow high-flow cat in, all i have left to do is get a muffler on there. i bought a cherrybomb turbo for it but haven't installed it yet. anyway. my question is what would be a good muffler that is quiet for just puttin' around town but when i pick 'er up it so does the sound.

any suggestions would be great.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Hey Cowtownexi.... you from Calgary too?

I would recommend a magnaflow muffler personally as I find they are pretty quiet for daily driving. They give a deeper sound than most fart cans too which is nice.

[MessyHonda]

yeah my 2.25 inch magnaflow is quiet till about 4k rpm..then its loud....if i rev it in a parking lot it can set off couple alarms. i noticed my exhaust got louder when i installed my short gears and lighten flywheel

[headbanger]

im not sure what my muffler is but it has a real nice deep tone to it and everything is stock except muffler.it was cool when i put it on because at first i was going to leave it off cause i wanted it loud.so i started car and would stick muffler over pipe and it was way louder with muffler than with out it.the only thing my muffler says on it is f1x sports.
