your better off with something else, get a custom one or something. I hate my pacesetter sooooooo much.

**gekko** · 01-02-2005, 08:54 AM

how much would a custom one cost me , and who makes them , remember i live in norway and honda tuning is not a big thing here ..
i'm ready to use like 300 something on a header , so if anyone would make a good one ???

just going to buy myself a colt cam , so with a new header should be better

actually the best way to open up a cams potential is with head work and oversize valves

also about not proving a dc sports over the pacesetter....I dunno about on an a20(since I only have a block and some other parts left of it), but I have seen a 5.0 with pacesetter headers on it blow the welds on 3 of the cylinders tubes right off the flange....threw on a set of bbk's and it made a hella difference in power as well as quality

**buzzbomber88lx** · 01-02-2005, 09:43 AM

well doesnt bosal/brospeed make exhaust piping for your cars?

**2ndgenludedude1986** · 01-02-2005, 05:33 PM

i know they dont for my lude, but i dont think they make it for the accords either. there quality isnt way too much higher than paceshitter. pacesetter*

**buzzbomber88lx** · 01-02-2005, 07:29 PM

lmao paceshitter

**Hash_man_Se_i** · 01-03-2005, 04:25 AM

I have had the pacesetter on my car for a while now, and I think its holding up pretty well, especially with all the shit they put on the roads for winter here.i havent had a single rattle and mine sounds eally good. I although put a remus muffler on instead of the shit ass pacesetter... I sold that to a friend, lol.

**Justin86** · 01-03-2005, 08:20 AM

go custom

**2ndgenludedude1986** · 01-03-2005, 04:32 PM

yea, i jsut ordered a magnaflow to replace my shitty muffler.

**HKSdrift3r** · 01-03-2005, 06:41 PM

While on the subject of Pacesetter, is the short shifter it makes any good?

**HondaBoy** · 01-03-2005, 06:55 PM

wait, so are y'all talking about the cat back exhaust or the header from pacesetter. i think its a waste of money to buy the cat back from pacesetter, as for a header, that would be more worth the money. i went to a muffler shop to get a cat back put on to replace my rusty exhaust that was too small anyway. i think their short shifters are actually decent. i've heard only good things on the short shift kit from pacesetter.

**HKSdrift3r** · 01-03-2005, 07:01 PM

excellent.. so the dc sports short shifter isnt really worth it?

**HondaBoy** · 01-03-2005, 07:16 PM

the DC is a bit more than the pacesetter. i found fidanza short shifters, for the 88 and up civic, dont remember is the shifter was the same on the accord. i remember the pacesetter civic shifter was the same as the 3gee. but i dont remember what year. for the money, i'd say pacesetter from what i've heard. i'd wait for some other opinions though.

**HKSdrift3r** · 01-03-2005, 07:28 PM

i believe only 84-87 civic shifter fit on our accords.. i checked on nopi and ebay and the pacesetter was the same when shipping was added.. meanwhile the dc sports shifter was only 6 bucks more

**2ndgenludedude1986** · 01-03-2005, 08:12 PM

i have a pacesetter short shifter also. i liek it alout, especailly since its adjustable. shifts nice, and makes the shifintg more precise.

i woudlnt put a pacesetter header on my car if yo payed me. im just not a fan of there headers.

**HondaBoy** · 01-03-2005, 10:33 PM

that was it, 84-87 civic shifter was the same as the 3gee. n/m about the fidanza one then. it was for newer civics, 88-00 i think.

**snow_man_20** · 01-05-2005, 06:46 AM

Thanks for all the feedback I'm thinking of putting the pace setter header and then a exhaust from a shop. I think the extra $$ in the shop will be worth it. What do you think about the high flow cat on ebay for $50 shipped made by D TecH R (i think) any other sugestions on a high flow cat? Anyway it's all on the back burner for about a month. I just lost 2 injectors and almost my hole car when the two injectors split at the seem and started spaying gas going down the highway. To look on the bright side no fire and i found two new injectors the same day. I also desided to go for a full tune up timing belt water pump and fuel filter sence it was due and i was going to be under the hood anyway. almost $500 later she runs great but no new exhaust. P.S. I put the bosh 4 plugs in after test drive with old plugs to see any diffrence. A little more power but not worth 5.99 a plug.

**Jay's89Lxi** · 01-05-2005, 06:40 PM

I ordered one of those "highflow cats" from them, I think their ebay user id is dtrsports or somethin like that. When I went to get my exhaust put on, the muffler shop wouldn't install it because they said it was practically a resonator which is illegal for them to install in place of a cat. They said it would be illegal to install it, but when I get my header back on i'll probably put it on or get a real high flow cat.

**BITESIZE** · 01-06-2005, 06:54 PM

I give Pacesetter two thumbs up......you pay for what you get......I payed $190 ceramic coated and no problems after a year.

**Mattphi** · 01-21-2005, 05:46 AM

I have been finding Pacesetter Headers for 160 shipped on Ebay...are they a good header? That seams like kind of cheap price.

**SiR** · 01-21-2005, 06:05 AM

There must be millions of threads of people liking them and people hating them.

***Vanilla Sky*** · 01-21-2005, 06:22 AM

i'm storing a car equipped with one... i can show you what happens when they get used...

**EricW** · 01-21-2005, 07:42 AM

When i bought one off ebay i just contacted the seller to see how much they could get the armor coated one for and it was a decent price $259.95 ( cheaper than buying direct) so i got the armor coated on since it will last longer and should never rust.

***Vanilla Sky*** · 01-21-2005, 08:18 AM

yes, if you get a pacesetter, spend the extra money and have it factory armour plated, or have it jet-hot/swaintech coated... it's worth it in the long run
