Does the pace setter headers replace the stock y-pipe? or do I need to get the headers from pacesetter and a y-pipe?

 

Two different animals dude...Exhaust headers go from the heads down to the underside of the car,then the y-pipe attaches to them....

Stay away from pacsetter headers,they are not well made,and have fittment issues...

Just get the warpspeed y-pipe....

 

what about pacesetter short throw shifter

 

I have a pacsetter sts,it is a little notchy but works fine for me...

 

i need one, i thought about stillen but they cost way to much what other options do i really have

 

i had the pacesetter sts on my 91 max i had and loved it reduced shift throw by alot and was juz what i wanted in my shifter. and paying like 75 to 90 juz for that shifter instead of like what alil over 200 for the stillen is a better deal

 

what type of muffler should I get? I want one that gives a deep low note, not like the ones on hondas that sound like a kazoo. Any recommendation on the mufflers on ebay motors?

 

eventually down the road im gettin a muffler i think im gonna go wit borla, because i to hate that whine hondas make

 

I recommend the factory shifter shortened...not cut of and shortened because that doesnt shorten the throw...but actually moving the ball up. Matt told me about this and I tried it. The feel is perfect...not notchy or sticky but just like stock. Now I did have all of the linkage out when I did the motor on my car so I lubed everything and I am sure that helped a little too.

I put the shifter in the oven for a while to get the ball soft then moved the ball up about an inch and its perfect.

 

Did you have any problems with the shifter hitting the heat sheild?

 

I did have to adjust the heat shield slightly by hammering it in a little but that was easy. I didnt have to do it much and the heat shield doesnt hit the cat so there are no problems.

I took pics of my adjusted shifter compared to another factory one but I can not find them .

 

you know, i had pace setters a while back, if anyone remembers..... from headers to exhaust....everything but the Y-pipe...they didnt exactly fit...at all.

but right now, although its illegal, i have my complete exhaust cut off at the flex pipe, and have a resonator in that spot just to create some bckflow to keep valves from burnin'.. and it sounds like muscle <3

 

Maybe not a great option for the Maxima, but these are definately a good product for other applications besides the Maxima. Pacesetter Headers are a HUGE seller in the F-Body world.

 

I have a set of used Pacesetter headers if you are interested make me an offer... I never had any problems....worked great with the Greddy I had. ~Charlie~

 

For a muffler. The guy that bought my maxima put a Flowmaster 40 series muffler on it and it sounded really nice. Sounded like a 350z. The interior resonance was pretty high though.

 

my monza, by pacesetter, sounds pretty good; doesnt have that tinny, high pitch honda sound (the "straight through" sound). very "beefy". it is a very good fit and deal. you wont get much performance out of it without opening up the y pipe or headers, though. its all about tone.
