so for a short shifter you get one for our models right , it has nothin to do with the gsr motor and tranny? what bout the clutch you have is it one made for our 3gee ?

[wickedaccord]

shifter stays the same as a stock 3geez. unfortunately freakin place racing wouldnt change the cup for me to a civic's. but the clutch is totally seperate from the shift linkage and shifter. the clutch is for bseries motor. ACT made their bseries clutch to universally fit any bseries motor. i almost died when i couldnt put the pressure plate on. until we called ACT and they showed up the 3 universal holes on the pressure plate. so the shift linkage is gonna have to be bought from place racing. ofcourse with a core exchange

Hey, I tried a search and didn't come up with much. I just want to know how this exaust is? does it have Mandrel bends? and does it sound good? because I was looking on Nopionline, and 160 USD is an awesome price for a catback. Also, how are the pacesetter headers? and whats the real difference between steel and ceramic coated?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Pasessetter = cheap design.
you can get headers and stip the paint of them and paint with high temp paint.
cat back, the piping is good, but the muffler sucks. it rusts very quick. so you will have to cut it out and weld a new muffler.

[krott5333]

The cat back isn't worth it probably, because the muffler on it is very cheap. Yes it has mandrel bends, but you could get an ebay muffler like I did for about $60 shipped, and get a good exhaust shop in your area to custom bend some pipe for you. It most likely wont be mandrel bent, but a decent shop should be able to keep the crushed bends to a minimum, and you could probably get stainless for cheaper than the price of the pacesetter anyway.

[RobT5580]

I have owned 2 of them and they are garbage. The 2nd one i had was bent inproperly and they would fix the problem and it was under their warranty period. The piping is very low grade and rusts very fast. The only reason i bought them was because it is the only cat back system and this was a few yrs ago. Just buy a muffler and have a shop make the piping.

[1988starter]

I have pacesetter piping with a dynomax muffler it was all god but I only paid 130 for the cat back and 40 for the muffler.

til i cut off the muffler and put a Ractive performance joint on there

Haha, ya I think i spelled it wrong when I did the search.

And ya, I think i might get it, then sell the muffler and put on something like a DC sports TCS muffler. I only was wondering about this because it is so cheap.

But what other companies sell cat-backs for our cars
?

[Bloodlust]

I have heard so many bad things about Pacesetter exhausts. I would not get one myself, neither would I recommend anyone get one neither.

[G Man89]

I have one. At the moment the only complaint I have is that when I make righthand turns it rattles. I think it makes nice sound.

[G Man89]

The installation was a little tough thou because the bolts on my stock exhaust were rusted up real good.

[erics86dx]

I was thinking about getting one of those I probably will but Ill replace the muffler tip or whatever with a apexi tip and a flowmaster muffler or something along the lines of that

[86AccordLxi]

I bought it and after 6 months, I put on a stainless steel muffler to replace the rusted out one. So far, I haven't noticed any rust on the piping, and I've had it for almost 2 years. It works well enough..i don't think it's any worse or better than custom piping, but you will have to replace the muffler. Probably wouldn't buy one again, though...cheaper to have it custom made.

So, I was just looking on the computer at my work today, and finally found the pacesetter cat-back exaust for our cars. I looked into a custom exaust (not mandrel bent) and a performance muffler and it would be like $500CDN. And this is only going to cost me less than $300CDN (dont know exact price right now)
And.. I am going to replace the pacesetter muffler with a Vibrant Performance Dual DTM style muffler for only $100. I can't wait.

[adams86lxi]

sounds good!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Ya, i can't wait. But I am trying to decide what muffler to go with right now. I want a nice deep sounding one. And the total price for the pacesetter cat back is $240 for me. and thats canadian dollars too.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

hey,
I just got my pacesetter cat-back exhaust after a week and $250CDN..

And I am now wondering.., I remember people saying to spray high temp paint on to the pacesetter headers which are not ceramic coated, to help prevent them from rusting.

So... will this work with the exhaust too?? I really want to know, becuase I want it to last as long as possible.

Thanks

250 bucks?? you could have got a nice dynomax muffler and a custom bent exhaust for that much... that pacesetter muffler is a POS and it provides 0 gains ofver stock... now you are gonna have to replace the muffler, and get a new tip cuz that tipp with start to rust within 3 months.. and in the winter, it will be worse...

i sugest taking it back and getting a custom pipe... they go for 150 bucks in my town.. thats canadian bucks.. and a nice dynomax 90 bucks.. so for like 250 bucks, you could have gotten performance and sound

oh well..

it doesnt need paint, but you can anyway

Travis

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Well in my town. For a good custom exhaust it is probly at least 200, and then for a good muffler not some POS, it is like 180 for me.

And I want my mandrel bent piping! lol... and I am also selling the pacesetter muffler for around 100$. so it will end up being a good deal for me. And this muffler I am getting has a 5yr warranty, so unlike your 90$ muffler, i wont have to replace it every year,

[dXsquared]

the 90 dollar Dynomax is a very nice muffler... and who ever buys your muffler is a bone head

Travis

[dXsquared]

how much for your subs man?? lemme know... im in the market for some new subs and 3 10's would be perfect...and i dont want the box.. gimme a price
