pacesetter exhausts

[DimShady]

I was wondering if anyone has purchased a pacesetter exhaust for there 1st gen dsm, and what they are like as far as sound and performance

[gthompson97]

Whole system or just a header? I've heard good and bad about Pacesetter exhausts.

[DimShady]

the whole system, i was talking to a vendor, they have the whole system for a pretty good price, but i just came across them the other day. I dont wanna buy something junky

[gthompson97]

If you don't mind me asking, how much do they want? I personally like the Apexi N1, that's waht I have.

Pacesetter has totally mixed reviews from people, sending a very confusing idea about what quality poducts they make.

Honestly, custom exhausts FTW. Mix and match your own cat/test-pipe, muffler(s) and tips. I just got a nice exhaust on the 3000GT, with a Magnaflow muffler, my own choice of double walled chrome tips (pair) and sweet mendrel bends all the way, $400 out the door. The exhaust note now has the "wail" of the 350Z, but deeper, and I love it.

But, them again, if you get the entire deal for a decent price, that might be worth it too...it's jus personal preference, since I wouldnt ever get a pre-bent brand-name exhaust system (way over priced...the Borla catback for the GT SL was $900, f'ing ridiculous, and I bet mine sounds sweeter, lol).

they want 270.30 shipped for it, I do like your idea shpyder, complete customization is where its at and if you want to set your ride away from the others thats the way to go

I like my Megan one. Cheap as hell and though it sounds great I dont care what it sounds like. Are you talking turbo or nonturbo car?

[DimShady]

right now its a non-turbo, but i might take that step later, right now i just wanna do the basic firsts

The header will become useless to you if you plan to go turbo, just so you know.

I've heard bad things about pacesetter turbo manifolds but as far as headers I've only heard good things. I think your pretty safe with an exhaust though

Megan FTW for a 1g!

What I did on my dsm is bought an Apexi N1 muffler and had a catback custom made and just used that muffler. not counting the price of the muffler it was $140 for labor and parts and stuff.

I support Borla and the price of theirs, they make some badass exhaust systems. They're not like Greddy and do a half-ass test of the product and way over-charge, they test their shit time and time again before they get it right. Granted Borla may be spendy, you get top quality from them.

[blk_srt]

Oh yeah, I have a borla exhaust haha, I forgot about that. I love it great piece

hey i got a pacesetter turbo manifold off ebay and payed 350 for it. i thought that is was nice as crap and it would be a great upgrade from my first gen manifold. it turned out to be a peace of crap. i only had it for 6 months and it cracked and i could not get ahold of the guy that i bought it from. so be careful. my best bet turned out to be the second gen ported manifold. it works alot better.
