7 out of 10 people who used pacesetter products including those pacesetter products for other cars out there said they're the ****tiest things ever existed.

Just search google with such keyword, "pacesetter reviews" and you'll see what I'd meant.


Now if pacesetter decided to release stainless steel products, then it's whole different story....esp, if they're dirt cheap. Unfortunately, most of their stuffs where made out of cheap metal that'll rust out on you in less than a year.

How, exactly, are they illegal? There aren't any catalytic converters being removed, nor any O2 sensors being displaced. Please elaborate.

well if you think about it, headers aren't even near the cat. i believe you're thinking about the y-pipe eliminating the two pre-cats.

if they lack a C.A.R.B. EO # then they are illegal to use on a california street driven car
At least technically.

sort of correct. if you call it that. and you have to re-drill the O2 sensor hole. there was a thread on this a while back. i think the n/a z32 O2 sensor will fit, though. i will look for the thread to confirm this about the O2.

only 3 years? any POS from Pacesetter should have a lifetime warranty...go with the Y-pipe, tried and true HP gains and durability!!!

imo, y-pipe. if you want headers, email cattman and ask him when the next group shipment order is for the VG or VE. i have his headers in a box right now waiting to be put on. i also have a full set of the pacesetters. i have one of the pacesetters in my office as a conversation piece. it looks cool on my shelf. it is black and interesting-looking. like an art piece. i figure it is more useful this way.
