Don't get it, supposedly it rusts out rather quickly. Only good product from Pacesetter for the 03-05 Ecotec is the Ceramic Coated Header.

have one made. its the cheapest easiest way. buy a muffler and have a shop bend up the rest and weld on the muffler.

it would take you longer to install one then it would take a shop to make one. not to mention you have to wait for one to come in from somewhere.

go to a shop monday and they can probably get you in before wed and it will take maybe an hour. probably less and your done out the door for less than $200

the cheapest way is to have one made. get a universal muffler and have the cat back made. if you buy a decent muffler you'll still only be out between 150-200. you could buy the monza, but after shipping your looking at the same price for a lower quality product (depending on the shop of course)

so all in all.

CHEAP = HAVE ONE MADE

yea custom fabs are a great way to go. I had mine made for 170 bucks and have had it on the car for about 6 monthes not a spec of rust just in your pursuit of getting it made make sure its a good shop first, nothing worse than having welds break, crappy piping, crappy bends.

Maybe i just don't care for the money or limited sources in iraq forced me to but i bought the monza. I gotta say i haven't seen any rust yet after it was on the car for 4-5 months, not a spec. Anyway, it sounds pretty good to me and it causes a lot less vibes then my last one, which had the brackets which were welded to the frame lol.

Just wait, you'll notice it first coming out of your tip.

Well the only thing i notice on the tip is all the exhaust buildup if i don't clean it for awhile maybe thats what caused it , it might have trapped moisture or something that eroded it, i'm not saying you're wrong or anything but i guess we'll have to see with time huh?

Well, not meaning to post jack, but you all say just get the extra items, and go to a shop and have them do the rest.

I was going to buy the Ceramic Header, Hi Flow Cat and a muffler. I could just go to an exhaust shop and they can do all the rest with the piping?? I don't have to buy a seperate system like Borla or anything cause a shop can do it??

right just go to your local muffler shop and ask them to bend & weld up pipe for you and they should do it in whatever size you'd like depending on where your going performance wise for your car. Shouldn't cost too too much I dont think. Good luck!

Kickass! That'll save me money like crazy. With the header. cat and muffler, I'm already looking at like $500 or so. I thought I had to go for a Borla system too and thats like $5/600 right there, lol.
