Pacesetter exhaust
Tuesday, January 22, 2008 8:06 AM
Well my current exhaust system is so incredibly loud, with two 4.5" tip mufflers and no cat. Once I put on my headers, and a high flow cat, I'm getting a bolt on cat-back.

Now I honestly don't care if its a dual set up or whatever...and I see a few that aren't too expensive, like the Pacesetter one that's black with the 4" tip, and seems to feature a resonator.

Anyone have any experience with this? Or recommend any other exhaust brands that might be loud and attractive, but classy?

add resonators to your exhaust to "quiet" it down that or change your mufflers themselves once you get a cat. those three thing are the biggest contributors to your exhaust note

Putting the cat back on there will help with the noise more than anything.

I'd recommend the Vibrant brand exhaust system.
They have the largest inner diameter piping for aftermarket exhaust that includes a muffler.

Or just get a system bent up at your local shop.
Bring your own mandrel bent pipes if you want too,

I have Pacesetter on my 96' Cavy 2.2 OHV and i really cant complain. The tip is resonated and its pretty quite at idle and low rpms. High rpms it get louder but not really loud. Mine has a rasp when the exhaust is cold but goes away after it warms up. It has a nice tone to it, i dont think it sounds ricey. Its a good cat-back for the price, but sence its painted black, the black will come off and it will rust.

I have a Pacesetter exhaust system with header, and a vibrant cat on a '03 Cavalier. On starts ups it sounds like something is loose inside, but on idle and low rpms its better quite. I had the header stripped and repainted with high temp paint. I gained a lot of power on the high end. Enjoy the power gained and the sound, most people have mix feels. One person has said that on start up it sounds like a tin cans banging together.

Pacesetter is good, add a resonator to it. Also Vibrant and the true magnaflow cat back are good quality.
