i was thinking about buying a new header because mine is pretty nasty looking and this import shop out by my house sells ones for $225 and their pace setters i think it was so does any one know if this brand is good and if the price is good? or should i look elsewhere?

 

is it the black or ceramic model? the ceramic headers are pretty good. I like pace setter. They have mild sounding equipment while still getting a power gain. Ive heard a s14 with a whole pace setter exhaust and it sounded mean. Nice low rumble.

 

compare the prices with ebay and give it some thought. Thats what i usually do when it comes down to looking at shops. Usually it might be a tad bit cheaper on ebay.

 

i heard that pacesetter wasnt a good brand at all since they rust easily

 

which is why you get the ceramic coated model.

 

when buying headers u wanna make sure that the piping doesnt extend to much(not very noticable, but 3 1/8) pass the mounting braket. I have some headers that are complete one peice. I had to grind them down so that they would not leak, and i doubled up my gaskets.

the headers i have were given to me and im not sure what brand( i belive hot shot) they were, but they are def larger then stock and sounds great

 

all they have are the black ones. but i am going to look at ebay real quik and see what the prices are on there.

 

well i found those ones for around 150-165 on ebay so i think i should look elsewhere.

 

The only thing I have purchased of pacestter is the CAT back exhaust, it isn't the best on the market, the welds are strong but the welds look like doo doo. The CAT back is pretty loud but I defenitely wouldn't purchase the header. If you want decent flow numbers pacestter has proven to do just that. As far as looks go it's not the best looking.....

OBX is the cheapest and best looking with good flow results at only $165 on ebay and $20 dolla shipping.

I've left a pic of my CAT back so you can see the weld work, it's defenitely not grade a but it works.....

 

so at 225 that pacesetter isnt worth it or what? im not real concerned about looks but i do want quality performance.

 

you can pacesetter for much cheaper than that... I would go with that, or OBX.. or if you feel like spending that much, get a Hotshot header...

andysautosport.com had those pacesetters for $168... megan racing has some headers too.. there's a lot of choices.

 

OBX is great quality for $165 on EBAY........ Save your money for more important things like an internal buildup, or larger injection and upgraded EMS.......

 

ive heard that OBX is crap. Ive never had any OBX products, so i can only base my opinions on what ive heard

 

hmmm, i always thought that pacesetter was for domestic vehicles ... i guess i was wrong.
Biggamehit has a really nice set-up, but his are hotshot($$)

 

hotshot is among the best imo. they make good stuff
