Pacesetter Exhaust

Just bought the pacesetter xhaust for a 2.4L Sunfire GT.

Has aanyone else put this on yet, maybe able to toss me a sound clip? found it on turbotechracing.com

if no sound clip, how do they preform and what range of rpm is it noticible, if any that is. should i be ready for a waste of the money for it?

still waiting for them to come in the mail. :banghead: it is taking far too long.

thanks guys.

should i be ready for a waste of the money for it?
Kinda late to worry about that don't ya think?

Lance said it best, too late to worry about wasting your money sorry bro. You should have asked us before you bought it, is it possible to return it?? Because if you can I would do that and get something different. I suggest going with magnaflow.

OR you can buy it, install it, and write us a review on it so we'll know more about them, be our guinea pig.

Little late for that Lance. Here is a simple written review...doodoo butter....with rocks in a tin can. Return it!

:lol: thats what I figured but I've never used one or witness one in person so I didn't wanna talk about something Ive had no experience with.

ya, i was considering gettin that exhaust, but luckly i ask these guys first, and they guided me in the right direction. thx guys!

Yeah stay clear from the Pacesetter exhaust, if you buy anything Pacesetter make sure its their header.

Piece together your own exhaust system setup.... RDFABS FTW! :)

im not going to hate on my exhasut that is stock, since i do like its dual look. I just hate that they had become rusted out and i needed something new soon.
damn newyork and thier salty roads. when i install them between friday and monday i will write and finish your reveiw to tell you how they are on a sunfire gt.


wondered why they were on sale :D

^ So you are going to go with the Pacesetter exhaust then?

Are you using a resonator or no?

WOO got it today, i am going to buy some new jackstands and look at what i can do myself for the piping. the cat conver. to the end on my own. in the morn, i figure i can get that pretty easy with some WD 40 on hand. the header is gonna give me some problems since i had a flex joint put on by a guy in a shop and he mega welded everything on up there. bolts dont hold like a weld.... or so he said.

but yes, if everything goes well Tomorrow i will have it; part one will be on by monday morning if i suck this up and my bolts are rusted as a mother F-er

no resonator tha i know of, unless they popped one on and not tell me.

Why are you messing with the header? I thought it was just a cat back? Or did you say you had a header back exhaust and i missed it?

it is a cat back, sorry for the confusion.

i also had bought a new header from Pacesetter also. my old one has more rust than anything.

bought 1)cat back exhaust. 2) Header. 3) (soon to be) newer hi-flow cat.

well when u get it all installed remember to post a sound clip. :bigthumb:

I want to install an aftermarket Tach to my '98 2.2 cavalier.
I'm not sure of the best deal for it.
Any Idea of a tach adapter system that works with out problem?
Thanks in advance

Next time start a new thread or search, it's been covered.

Post some pics of the new exhaust man.

well in the middle install i found out the my cat had been either rusted solid to my pipe or it was welded after it was bolted. i cant tell right now cause i cant get it all the way clean.(got the cat sensor hit by the goo and it burned it out, made my check engine light come on)
|) /-\ |\/| /\/ IT!!!!
:( i cant decide, should i cut and clamp or take it to a "guy" and have him do it?
Does anyone know if how i can cut right at the bolts and the meeting of the Cat and the piping so i dont have to destroy my new piping. if i have a long metal cutting blade on saw, can i blow thru the bolts and not really mess up my cat? i think i am gonna do it. hit me up on any of the messangers i have listed by my name if you have any help on them, i will be on atleast one of them even if at school or work.

just to let u know if u take it to a shop to get your headers instaled it is goign to be like 300$ canadian becasue i was doing some pricing around here and they said to install a set of headers it would take aleast 3-4 hours so 300-400$ but mi would recmmond amost taking it to a shop or a buddys dad or something that knwos what they are doing so u dont fuck somehting up lol.

Just go to a mom and pop muffler shop hand them all your exhaust components and tell them to put the cat and the cat back on and it will run you maybe $100 and some change.

As for the above....it would be a hell of alot more then that to install headers. Just the labor alone would be an ungoddly ammount thanks to all the imaginative brain work it would take to make the setup for headers to work. I know for my 04 it wouldnt cost much for me to get a header installed though.

:lol: This is very true. :grinno:

on my 99 cavy it was going to cost me from 3-400 bones... like shit man thats alot for install .... i would just go through the hassle of doing it your self.

Installed the piping and muffler, this truely is a great sound. i want to use the sound clip and movie i have, but it sounds like hell since i was in the garage and my mic on the laptop didnt pick up well with the wind outside.

i would like to post the crap *ss movie i made with it tho, just for a starters and understanding.

Let me say this, take this toa guy you trust because he has to bend it, cut off more than an inch and make a few well placed welds. This is not for begginers whatsoever.
1)it sounds great
2)45 min install turned in to 2 hours :(
3)a deeper tone while not being to raspy
4) i guess i would say this is good, just let someone else put it on so you dont get a head ache. D-;

(can someone who knows how to pop up my movie, send me a message over Aim, ICQ, MSN, Y! or Skype? i will be on atleast one)

This is the hard link to my exhaust. it only loaded 6 out of the 30 seconds. so i am kinda pissed and i am gonna have to try again :D

one video sucked and this one was a tad better. but WOW you gotta hear it upclose. it is beautiful for 150 bucks for a full catback, just beautiful

The video you have requested is not available.

If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.

:lol:

from wut i could hear, it sounded pretty good.

The real test would be the higher/highest rpms and that clip doesn't have that.

Yep, i am working on getting either a digital cam corder or just a better noise picker upper.

it only got the first 6 seconds of sound, it is missing the other 24.

i had it stopping starting high rev low rev and driving by all crammed in there. but i f'ed it up and only kept 6 seconds.

More to come on it. but in my opinion it is a great system that, needed work but, sounds good
