Pacesetter : Intake , Short Shifter , Header , Cat Back Exhaust , High Flow Cat

[Klue]

in my opinion, i would go mate the flex pipe with the exaust size, if ur planning on getting a 2.5 inch exaust wait and do the whole system 2.5, you dont want to bottleneck the system as that will restrict the flow.

you probably could have bought mine if you'd asked, for the right price of course

Does anybody know the gasket # that goes on the downpipe? I ordered the G7250 # and they sent me the head/header gasket.

[nswst8]

You might want to call them instead of trying to rely on some "it should be's"
Good luck

[BITESIZE]

I already fuckin told the dumbass on the phone when I was ordering the gasket, and they still sent me the wrong one......I'm probably going to just make my own gasket.

[Justin86]

go to an exhaust shop and get one that is a close fit. I got one and just had to change two of the holes.

[BITESIZE]

Do you remember what it went to justin?

[Justin86]

no, they should have a book with different gaskets, and just bring in your old one to match it up.

i believe it was a volvo gasket.. BEST BET... and i did it... buy some MR.Gasket exhaust gasket material.. take the stainless mesh from the old gasket and trace it onto the gasket paper and make your own... make 2... then glue em togehter with orange hi temp silicone... let it dry... throw in on the car.. use lock washers or stover nuts instead of nylocks.. thats why the gasket blew.. the nuts loosen up...

dx, your so smart, i couldnt said it any better! Just make sure you use the GOLD rtv.

[snow_man_20]

I bought my 89 lxi last month and i'm thinking about putting a pace setter exaust on. Any one have experince with pace setter, how it sounds, performance, and/or if it uses all the old mounts?? It seems pretty cheap so i'm kinda leary. please help

[buzzbomber88lx]

If you would have done a search you would find people that like and hate pacesetter...
pros:
cheap
better than stock to an extent

cons:
not very good quality in the welds and material used
rattles like a mofo
fitment isnt always the best
etc.

I know that their headers are trash usually I dunno much about their exhaust systems

[snow_man_20]

thank you for the heads up, i'm new to the site and couldn't seem to find any info on it. I'm going look at more options on exhaust.

[3gn86lxi]

HHmmmm. not many options when it comes to exhaust. You either do pacesetter, or you do d.c. sports. Which is $$$$$$. But if you got it, buy it cause d.c. doesn't make a header anymore, so you are going to pay whatever someone wants to charge you!!
Good luck :alc:

I think a good exhaust shop could make you a nice setup for around the same price as a cat back or cheaper, and it will last longer.

[buzzbomber88lx]

ya go along with what a20a1 said and just go to a good muffler shop and have them bend you a 2.25" exhaust from the manifold back with a good hi-flo cat and nice muffler at the exit. If the shop can, have them custom make you a header....if not then ask around at machine shops.

i just put a pacesetter exhaust on a few months back, its OK for the most part, it has a nice sound to it (partly b/c i have the dc header and wpn r intake) but it does rattle a bit which is kind of annoying. For my car it has somewhat of a deep ripping tone which is what i like. But if i had my choice now id try a custom setup with a top brand named muffler

I had a friend that has a 240 that had the pacesetter system on it and it had the same tone but it was kinda quiet for being a "performance" system so we took the resonator out and it sounded pretty good.....he took it off tho and got an hks dragger

[2ndgenludedude1986]

i think teh exhasut is pretty damn good for the price. my ahngers where all perfect. the mufflers are shit. but for the piping oyu cant beat it. headers are shit. im lucky enoguh to ahve a lightspeed header that i found.

[gekko]

i need a header and pacesetter must be better than the stock one ?
so where is the best place to buy one , i live in Norway so the shipping cost is a factor here
if someone has a used header , i got the cash

[buzzbomber88lx]

is the piping mandrel? I forgot and dont want to look
