I bought this Pace Setter Muffler on 3-30-01 and put it on my car at 55,000 miles I took it off yesterday 9-6-03 at 80,000 miles and went back to stock. This muffler completely rusted through! It sounded good but it rusted away easily.

 

WOW.....HOly RUST Batman!

 

did it claim to be stainless steel?

 

No, I don't think Pacesetter claims stainless steel construction. I think they're all mild steel. That's why they are so cheap.
It's been said before on the board that it's just good for people who want power on a budget, since they are under $200, iirc. It's not for people who want longevity, but then again, you can afford to buy a couple Pacesetters for the price of some SS exhausts.

 

ouch what a waste of hard earned money, sorry to see that

 

I'm sure the weather and road conditions and rice were also a factor.

 

they may have been factors, but i've seen this happen on every car thats had this pos exhaust

 

I'm just stating my experience w/these mufflers I paid $39.00 for it when I bought it....new

we all can learn from various experiences even when we spend our hard earned money....on mods.....good or bad...

 

For $39, you can't expect that much I suppose.

 

very true.......


cheap parts or cheap pricing


you get what you pay for.......
