Yep, jeezus clip is right. Circlips are a pain to remove without the circlip gadget. It's worth the ten or so dollars for it.

Honda's also known for having 'jeezus nuts' too

Yeah I bought a snap ring pliers (adjustable) for $9 at a parts store. It was so easy to do with this tool. I forgot to mention this yesterday.

Sounds like a quote you could use in a profile signature lol.

I was wondering if you can get the Pacesetter after-cat without a muffler and if so how much it costs. Also, how is the quality of the system? Thanks

[Mike's89AccordLX]

It would be cheaper to go to an exhaust shop and have them make you a custom 2.25" piping.

[accord19882002]

The only problem with that is that I'm running no converter so none of the shops will touch my car. So I wanted to get the after cat system, then weld in a pipe in place of the cat.

[1988starter]

Well you have to get the muffler and the muffler is shit but what many of us did was buy it for the mandrel bends and weld a different muffler on.

Do any of you guys use the Pace Setter Monza exhaust system on your cars? Thinking of gettin one after my new tranny, oh and one of Pace Setters headers too. Any info would be great. Thanks

pacesetter is a pretty cheap brand.. like apc..and such..
i mean some ppl have the header.. and its worked out fine..
but u never know when ur header will be the one to get fucked over..
another thing about their exhaust.. i heard on here that after a while the rust.. or some shit like that..

[Justin86]

If you by the cheap Pacesetter stuff it would be a good idea to sandblast everything and put some ceramic high temp paint on it. It will stop it from rusting and hold up well. It will cost around $5 a can at autozone. Or spend $300-$400 for DC products

[1988starter]

Pacesetter headers and highflow cat are good but their exhaust sucks bad muffler but I just welded a dynomax on much better.

[LXiRAM87]

Well I have a Complete Pace setter exhaust. I have the plain black headers and after the paint burned off it does start to rust. It would be a good idea to paint some high temp paint on them. Aslo the muffler is crap. The first muffler i had kept on falling apart on the inside making a bunch of noise at a certain RPM range. I had to cut it open and weld it in place. But besides the muffler thing it is great.

Ok do you guys have any suggestions on a same price range, but better exhaust system and header.

[1988starter]

Well I would just have a shop make one or but another pacesetter and cut off the muffler and weld on another when you have the money.

[87accordDxRocFosStyl]

I think ill have one done at the local muffler shop. But i still need a header any suggestions?

[1988starter]

Pacesetter black one is good for me or get their ceramic one if you want a mesh flex section that bad order one off JC whitney for like 30 bucks and weld it in.

[87accordDxRocFosStyl]

So did anyone have a problem with the pace setter header rusting or was it just the exhaust?

[1988starter]

My black painted one has started to rust but I have heard nothing but good things about the ceramic one

[86AccordLxi]

All you have to do is strip down the paint off the black one and repaint it with really high temp paint. That should solve the rusting problems...

Holy crap we have a genius here. (86AcorrdLx-i) I said 9 post ago to repaint everything with a ceramic paint and then Alex said to do it. Five bucks says that someone else will ask on how to stop the rusting. So Alex how is the weather up in Eugene. It is nice and raining here in G.P.

[1988starter]

I painted mine most stayed on the manifold but a lot burned off the down pipe.

[87accordDxRocFosStyl]

Ok got the jist there guys, repaint it and itll be fine. Figured that out, but what if i dont want to waste the time doing it, just kidding, im gonna do some more research then see what i can find. So once again any other brand of header that will work fine for the same kind of money?
