Someone once called those pacestetters "Aids to a car"

From what i heard they shake the crap outta your car. Busting manifolds studs, etc.

-you should of asked about thoes things before you baught 'em.
send them back asap. no joke!
thoes things arent worth the time or money, they have fitment problems, the finnish will burn off in 5 min (for real), power gain is very very little if nothing,flanges are super thin, pipes/welds erode quickly,some spend close to 1k to fix broken studs, prepare to spend more! ?!?springs?!?! sounds like some cheap way of making a "flex section" in the pipe

haha its not that hard, i just did mine last week, the springs go on the front headers, and no u dont knock them with a mallot, they have that ball joint design to allow for engine flex, 3 springs in the front and two of them connect at the end of the next pipe that connects of the front one. now there are two probs that u might run in to: 1. the bolts might be too long, in my case they were and i ended up going to the parts store and buying some new one. 2. my 02 sensore wouldnt fit the new housing on the pace setter headers, i just put two tack welds to hold it now for now (seems okay) and i have to get this thread repair thingy to weld in the hole so the 02 sensor will screw in, i hope this helps you

Those who take advice are wise, the ones that don't just aren't.
