not really sure
, like i guess i had something else in mind by that exhaust. it'll be interesting to see how that holds up in our climate here; and how milwaukee likes to dump excessive amounts of salt on our streets

for now. I need an exhaust on to get back to school, but i will probibly swap my flowmaster and tips onto the 2.5" piping. It was cheaper then having a shop bend it and mandrel bends ftw

Yeah its better quality then I expected. I got it for under $300 shipped. The piping seems solid and thick like stock. The muffler is smaller then my flow master in width, but I've never herd it so I'm in for a surprise tomorrow. Overall so far i am pleased. the system also comes with a 5 year warranty iirc
EDIT: The picture of the tape was to show that the yellow is in fact tape and removeable. |

I got the pace setter kit and a high flow magnaflow cat. my exhaust is 2.5 from motor to tail pipes. when in stalling I tucked it as far as I could tight the body. this was the stock exhaust when I pulled out of my drive.I have malibu dropzone springs (2") drop. I got the whole thing to my door for $380 thats the whole exhaust and cat and down pipe

I like the cat only had it on for a few days. lost a little in the lower end but gain more pull over 2000 rpm. I needed a new cat so I upgraded to SS high flow

I got a new cat 2 years ago (around 100,000.) the guy who did it put a cheap crappy cat on he also welded it so close to the bend in the down pipe I wouldn't have strat pipe to weld another one on. thats wht i got the whole thing. |

I asked them a question reguarding the clamps a few days back.
Well, a few weeks back. here's the email I got in response "hello , the u-clamps are made from mild steel , being that you are in NY you might want to go to a auto parts store and buy some stainless 1's , also you will want to wash the road salt off the exhaust atleast every few days during the winter . Eric Remboldt Customer Service 602-266-1964 eremboldt@pacesetterexhaust.com" Overall, I think the exhaust is totally worth it. Considering I got it for 245+30 bucks shipping, you can't go wrong. Especially considering the stock muffler costs more money :> |

I didn't use the clamps they gave me. The shop that installed mine used theirs that are weather treated what ever the hell that means.

Install went great. Only took a couple hours (about an hour was spent getting a stuck bolt out) Sound wise its quite. I'm guessing it needs to break in, but I might end up putting my flow master on when I am home next. Clamps are working right now but I will probibly get it welded when i figure out what I want to do. The stock overaxle piece was worse then I ever imagined.
