as stated above

check out link

get piping from jcwhitney.com
get k&n(or rip off brand if u prefer)from local speed shop or on ebay.
get rubber adapters from hardware store

think thats about it

Q. do you really think that u will increase hp by pulling in mass quanities of hot ass air.
A. no, so u do need a cold air set up

also if you remove your front fog light cover your filter will see a ram air type set up since the air is being pushed into that pocket
but you might want to put the cover back on in heavy rain conditions

For the love of god do whats right

Well I disagree with one thing on that page. When you make the holes in the intake pipe. I think you should do like the Intakes normally come. By sticking a hose in the intake it restricts air. But if you sodered a piece of metal tube onto the holes and then slide the rubber tubing around that, it would be better. And You will increase your hp by having a short ram intake. I'm not saying your wrong about the longer cold air intake. It will have more power, but the shorter intake works much better than a stock pipe. You also might want to put one of those foam things that let water into your system. I can't think of its name at this moment. I am with StaticPat. I made my own intake for about $30

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Or ask someone that has made a custom intake before. Spend your money on a good performance mod. Buying aftermarket intakes = wasted money

[mike_fx_u]

here people that think more hot air is better then less cool air

straight from k&n website and i think they know whats going on

"After three decades in the business, one thing we have learned is that air flow is a lot trickier than it might appear. For one thing, it's air, and the density of air varies with both the weather and altitude. That means there is literally more air in the same amount of space when the weather is cool than when it's hot. So one way to get a performance boost is to only drive in cold weather. Since air is variable, air flow claims in absolute terms are not meaningful"

Basically more air can be consumed if it is cold rather than hot even if the "mass" air flow is increased.

True cold air intake's VS. short ram test results https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8201

YEP, cold air intake is well worth the work.

[staticpat]

Why doesnt anybody get the Cat-back exhaust for pacesetter?

[flamed89]

i have one and i like. someone told me before i got it not to because they rust out fast. i've had mine for 2 years and i was just under my car this weekend and its still not rusting. its all in how far and how often you drive the car as to how fast it will rust. thats the only bad thing i've ever heard about it

[netfreak]

I plan on getting one (probably) and cutting off their muffler and putting my own on. There's hardly any good car shops in my area so it would be easier to get pacesetter and either put it on myself or get someone else to install.

[Grant2k]

why is this in the pictures forum?

[1988starter]

I had one muffler rattled like crazy and the power gains were minimal. So I lopped off the muffler and attached a dynomax and havent looked back no more rattle and a healthy gain in power.

[Jims 86LXI HB]

It's not worth buying because of it's build quality and because it doesn't make very much power at all. For about the same money you can have a muffler shop create a custom cat-back with a Dynomax Super turbo muffler and you'll make allot more power.

GrassRootsMotor sports magizine did a test where they took a car that was simular in displacement, rev range and tuning and dyno tested several different cat back combinations. One of those as the pacesetter, it made the least power of every system they tested. One of of the mufflers they tested was a Dynomax Super turbo that they had a muffler shop create as a cat-back system, didn't even have mandrel bends btw. It was the 3rd most powerfull, 2nd and 1st place didn't make much more power and cost allot more, 1st place had about .6 more hp. It was a thermal research rebuildable muffler.

[Nate2310]

I have a pacesetter and I noticed a nice boost in acceleration, the only downside is the bitch is already rusting on the tip

[anchovies]

My pacesetter starting rusting at the tip after 6 months, a year later the whole tip came off.

[iiviasterp]

i have the pacesetter cat-back... and it was decent until i cut the pacesetter muffler off and welded on a stainless one instead... that really freed things up... i have had no problems with my exhaust, ive had it for two years now and it hasnt rusted whatsoever

[hondadna]

I have one and it took 2 months for the tip to start rusting and it doesnt even sound good so I got a raven muffler put on the pipe at midas for 79.95 and it has all the sound and power we need
