Pacesetter Longtubes??

99BlkStang · January 4th, 2012, 03:20 PM

Been looking into buying some Lt's for a while now and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with PaceSetter longtubes. They're pretty cheap but was just wondering if it would be worth it to save a little more and get different ones.

i dont have them personally but ive heard pretty good things about them. I was gonna get some but came across a different deal

JTG87 · January 4th, 2012, 04:12 PM

Myself and a bunch of buddies had the on camaros and T/As and they were great. I plan to go with them on my mustang as well.

99BlkStang · January 4th, 2012, 04:42 PM

yeah, for the price they're a really good deal. Just wondering on the quality and fitment of them...?? Can't decide on the Pacesetters or the Flowtechs.

JTG87 · January 4th, 2012, 04:49 PM

I thought the quality was good. As far as fit just take your time and its not bad. I have installed 4 sets and they all are tight fits. A lot of people on here say drop the k-member but I have always remove the motor mounts and used a jack with 2x4s to lift up on the engine. Hope this helps

99BlkStang · January 4th, 2012, 07:01 PM

as far as ceramic coating or not, think i can get away with just doing the black finish?

JTG87 · January 4th, 2012, 07:14 PM

You can but if they offer and you got the xtra cash I would go ceramic.

I have the Pacesetter LTs ceramic coated. Fitment was just the same as any other LT i've installed with the stock K and actually a little better with the tubular K. I'm happy with them and can't say anything bad about them. The flange is plenty thick to minimize warpage and the collectors are slip fit which are almost impossible to leak. I also have the Pacesetter X ceramic coated and I'd suggest going with their X due to the slip fit collector.

Cabikejumper · January 4th, 2012, 08:07 PM

I may look into them as well. Am Has them for 269. They are 399.95 on pacesetter website. That's for NON coated. Coated was 599

Bulloch- do you know if their o/r h will fit as well?

I've got an x now and think its too raspy

ham sandwich · January 4th, 2012, 08:07 PM

I know a bunch of guys using them in their f-bodies with no problems. I don't see any reason to get more expensive headers.

Cabikejumper · January 4th, 2012, 08:50 PM

If only they offered a h pipe. I guess I'll have to go with flow tech.

bulloch27 · January 4th, 2012, 09:02 PM

Go to a muffler shop and have an H pipe made if you must have an H pipe. Not the end of the world, just a speed bump.

JTG87 · January 4th, 2012, 09:06 PM

I googled pacesetter h pipe and they are everywhere

Correct, not the end of the world. But I'm in a very very small town. Exhaust shop only does bolt on only 'custom' welding they do is straight pipes.

I've seen they have h pipes on their website but they are for shorty headers. Either way, I've had pacesetter on my z28 and sounded great.

I bought flowtechs with the flowtech x pipe and love it. I got them from jegs really cheap.

number1gt · January 4th, 2012, 09:53 PM

My friend has them on his mark 8 swapped 01, with there shorty x and Magnapacks, bitch sounds good
