They're made by Pacesetter. I have never used one on a Cavy, but I did put one on a friend's Civic. It was okay for the money. A little louder than stock, and it had a resonated tip that helped mellow it out a bit, but it still kinda sounded like a fart can. The pipe is aluminized steel, WAY cheaper than stainless, but it's the same material most factory exhausts are made of. The pipe is mendrel bent, which is a good thing. As long as it doesn't get a ton of moisture trapped in the midpipe, it should last a while.
are they all waranted for 3 years? I have one on my 2200 and it kinda rattles in the rear after one year. Not bad for the price though
You know, I'm not sure. The rattle could be a bad hanger. I would call Summit. They sell them and should know the warranty stuff, or you could check the web. Find Pacesetter's site. That will have the answers you need I would think.

they are a piece of @!#$ exhaust. rust easy, sound horrible, and fall apart VERY quickly.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
yeah they do fall apart fast....come spring ( if this one doesn't rust out over the long PA winter ) I am getting one custom bent
WOW thanksfor the info and does antbody know of a cheap cat back system that sounds good?
Im looking to spend no more than $300 USA

any exhaust that isnt stainless will rust
for the money it is a decent system , might need to add a resonator
but i need to add a resonator to my rk/magnaflow
any exhaust that a local shop is going to make will be made from the same aluminized tubing pacesetter uses , only difference will be the bends , pacesetter is mandrell bent , local shops 90% are NOT mandrell bent tubing
and you get your choice of muffler and tip , and youll still most likely need to add a resonator also
if you live where they use road salt , and you dont wash the salt off the exhaust , it will rust faster , you have to wash the salt off like you do the rest of your car , its all a matter of wether you care to wash it or not
i know several people with the pacesetter and are happy , a couple did add a resonator
I just picked up a stainless muffler from a local shop for $50 had an exhaust shop custome mandrel bend 2.25" stainless pipe and install everything for $250... Didnt really want the mandrel bent but it was either that or a $#!t4 job done by a different shop.....

you will get what you pay for spend $200 or $500 on a better cat-back there will be a big difference.
Does anybidy have any input on the link i posted above (the magnaflow link)?

Magnaflow is one of the best names out there in exhaust components so yes its a good product. As far as sound goes yes anything you do to your exhaust is going to change the note be it changing the pipe diameter muffler or even adding a tip. like i said before i just had a custom catback system put on my car and i wouldnt say i noticed any real HP gains its almost like the redline shifted.... seems like the motor revs higher and isnt as stressed... the only thing i can think of is the back pressure is reduced a little bit. In order to really gain noticable HP from an exhaust system you have to replace the whole thing. Think about it like this.... take two pipes one 2" around and one 4" around... flow the water through the 2" pipe and into the 4" pipe.... what happens when the water gets to the 4" pipe? it doesnt fill as much of that 4" pipe as it did the 2" pipe. Even though you made the pipe bigger it still flows the same ammount of water it just loses pressure... An exhaust system is only really as good as its weakest link. I am using some of the logic from my fire dept days here and could be totally wrong and if i am...... I am sure I will be corrected. but thats my take on it.
We carry the magnaflow rear section for like 270 it is a great deal for the $.

Correct. They are 2 different units. Magnaflow sounds so much better IMO.
