Got my birthday present
Monday, March 12, 2007 4:40 PM
Ordered my Pacesetter header March 2nd and just picked it up from the post office today (small town, no house delivery). Can't wait to get it put on now.








Anyone that has it already, is there anything I should be on the lookout for after it's installed?

If you are doing the instal yourself and dont weld then have fun getting it to line up with your 2.25 exhaust. for me the downpipe was about 2-3 inches to short from reaching the cat. and had to have a shop weld an extention to the down pipe(carefully measured and then taken to him) also buy a gaskit 2.25 in that oval shape. Was really hard for me to find for some reason and was driving around for a few days with the air leak.

Deffinatly a good buy though



I have one true love in my life...And my girlfriend sits next to me in it

Thank you. Not going to do it myself though since I read the instructions and saw some stuff about cutting pipes etc. I haven't the tools to do the job so I'll let someone who does do it Just have to get a time when I'm not working and it'll be done.

also, after a few runs in it make sure all the nuts and bolts are still on, also do not use the gasket it came with, get a new one from your local autostore.

pretty much everything was covered....... I had a hard time getting a piece of exhaust to go from the odd down pipe size to the 2.5" exhaust I have...... its been leaking for awhile...... no worries though, its comming off soon

Well I have no local auto store So maybe I'll wait until I take a trip down to visit with my mom and sister. Bigger city and also more auto shops to choose from. Hopefully this piece isn't going to end up being to much trouble :p

Why can't he just reuse his old gasket? That is what my buddy and I did.
