    About all these cat back systems

    heres some questions for all you money spenders or otherwise known as :pimp: lol

    #1 Which is better pacesetter cat back or custom from a shop?
    #2 Does flowmaster make a catback, if so is it good?
    #3 Is the flowmaster tubing good if there is a catback thing?
    #4 If there isnt a flowmaster cat back would it be possible to put the flowmaster muffler on the pacesetter?
    #5 For right now thats all the questions I have, but I quarantee there will be more, oh yes

    you have two choices make custom cat back with flowmaster, or you can spend on pacessetter and cut the muffler off and weld the flowmaster.

    i have heard pacesetter is a fine setup, except for the muffler. however it would prolly be cheaper to just get pipe ran at a shop, and have them add a muffler you buy off ebay.

    Well the only problem with pacesetter pipes is they eventually rust but they are good mandrel bends most shops do crimp bent or press bent.

    the bend stays the same size.. it lets more air flow.. but with a 100 HP car.. its not that big of a deal

    It is metal tubing that is specialy bent so that it keeps the same diameter though out the pipe.
