In general Pacesetter seems to make poor quality products. Not too many people have that catback, but i have not heard to many good things about it. It is made out of a cheap aluminized steel so it has been said that it rusts easy. I think that William has just the rear section and says it sounds ok. I mean $200 for a catback, that very cheap and most of the time you get what you pay for.

I bought a 2k2 muffler from another member and then had a local shop bend a custom 2.5" catback. Catback cost me $150 installed.

from what i hear, these exhaust systems will rust out after one year and litterally fall off your car.... i say dont be cheap and spend the extra few bucks and get the OBX CB atleast!

Very poor quality exhaust. They are not SS at all. THeir mufflers are fiberglass packed. The exhaust will sound nice for about a year and then it goes down hill from there. You will be lucky if it lasts you more then over a year.

A Pacesetter exhaust on my friends car lasted all of 2 months before rusting through the muffler and b-pipe.

Pacesetter is crap. Don't buy anything they sell. Even though tons of peeps have the short throw shifter, leave that crap alone.
