Re: Performance

Will give you a better sounding exhuast. The Pacesetter Armor Coat is the way to go. I have not gotten mine yet, but plan on it Spring 2006. I have a MagnaFlow hi-flowing cat and it is sooo nice. I got mine off Gravana Tuning for $75 w/o shipping.

Pacesetter header you can find at many website shops.

IT's $75 right here. That's for a 97 Cavalier 2.2 though. Perhaps you were looking under a different year/engine and it's not an option?

A Highflow cat will yield you no performance gains at all, all its going to do is "rice out" the tone of your exhaust, make you possibly fail emissions for not having OEM equipment, and give you NO power gains at all, you could actually lose power from the decrease in backpressure.
Pacesetter has been proven MANY times in other applications to have failed under extreme temperatures, they use shitty welds and shitty quality equipment, thats why there so cheap. Stay away from them, go with something name brand or otherwise.

yea pacesetter hearder are great i mean how wants to spend $400 on headers ive had my pacsetter headers dyno testd and guess what a whopping 8 hp incrses but it helps trust me any way i bought ine for $138
thats with shipping at www.modernperformance.com and the paint chipped off cause it was the black finid=sh but ive had them 4 a year and no rust on them they work great! i smokked a 98 cav with 2200 cold air intake dualexzaust and 5 speed and my car is a 95 cav 2.2l 5 spd dual exzaust cold air intake and headers and the headers is what made the difference!

How do you order stuff off of that website like for example the 2.4L headers?

Ummmm.....no! Maybe little no gains, but it does make it sound nice ass hell, ie. non rice. Pacesetter from what I hear and read, are better than others that are more exspensive. As for the emissions, you shouldn't have a problem about failing the tests. You more than likely will not loose power, maybe gain like 1. Magnaflow, to me, is a name brand along with Pacesetter.
