I want to hear from the people who have actually purchased this. How was the fitment? What kind of gains did you make?

Yes I know the addage "you get what you pay for", but I have a hard time justifying $1,000 + for Lt's and a mid pipe. Yes I know the piping they use is prone to rust but that is what the ceramic coating is for.

07 BOSS put a set on, made a thread about it i think....it was bad if i recall

Like these?

I've been very happy with my set. They probably do not produce the most "power" but have worked well for me. Install is going to be a bitch with whatever wet you get, they just are on these cars. As far as fitment, the only slight issue I had was the slip fit from the collector to the H-pipe. I think it was because of the ceramic coating that made it as tight as a virgin on prom night. I just used an exhuast pipe expander along with cutting a couple of small slits in the pipe and it slid right in.

I reused the stock metal gaskets (best to do so or buy new OEM) and I bought "stepped" band clamps to use along with a little copper high temp gasket sealer. No leaks from day one.

I felt the quality of all the welds and bends were good. The only issue that I have with these is they are not stainless. Sound and fitment of the actual headers are great. Here is a video of my ride to work. I tried to get on it a few times but there were 2 cops between my house and work. I have Flowmaster AT's and get a little rasp right around 2500 RPM.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I had some issues when I put them in but they ended up being non-header related. I initially thought that I was having some tune issues with the O2 sensors or something and it turned out to be a cracked spark plug causing a misfire.

I would recommend these to anyone not wanting to spend big bucks on exhuast. I have run Pacesetters in the past on other engines and have not had any issues.

Does Pacesetter make a x pipe for those headers?

Does Pacesetter make a x pipe for those headers?

I think so. When I ordered it, it was a package deal for non-coated headers and a mid-pipe. I asked to get upgraded to the ceramic ones for a couple extra dollars and if I could have an H-pipe instead of an X-pipe, because on their website the picture was with X-pipe. The guy said the picture was wrong and the combo package dealy actually comes with an H-pipe. I'm assuming that they have a picture of one that there is one, but you always see those disclaimers "actually parts may vary" 'cause they are using some generic pic to advertise a product.

Here's the link, I think it still has a picture of an X-pipe. Either way I think I paid $505.00 and had it at my doorstep 3 days later. Just ordered my front facia from them, good folks over there.

Stage 3 Motorsports 2005-08 Mustang GT Pacesetter Long Tube Headers & H Pipe (1-3/4" Primary)


Sidenote: These are 1 3/4" primaries. I don't know if they make 1 5/8". Might not be ideal for a mild N/A set up.

Why would the slightly larger primary diameter be worse for a mild n/a setup? I'm just curious.

Nice video, your car sounds great.

i have them on my 98 and have had them for over 2 years. if you get them get the ceramic ones they have and u have to buy the matching mid pipe. pacesetter only fits pacesetter

I've been told that our 3 valves motors like a little backpressure to help them run more efficiently. There may be too much loss of torque down low with too big of a primary tube. It has been recommended that an N\A car have 1 5/8" primaries and to go with 1 3/4' for F/I motors. I'm planning on a Whipple or TVS down the road so I went with the larger headers.

We were trying to figure out if they made an X-pipe and it looks like from your sig that they do. I figured they did I just couldn't say for sure 'cause I've never personally seen one. How have your headers held up?

 

[98stanger]

there ok so far. just if i was u i would get the ceramic ones. mine where black and after a month there was no black paint left haha. truth be told i think the sound awesome. i mean for the price there not a bad option.

Okidoki, makes sense. Thanks for the feedback!

No Hurst shifter, I have an automatic. I had the rear seat down so you could hear the exhuast a little better and that rattling sound is my golf clubs in the trunk.

Your golf clubs sound much less annoying than the loose change I stow in my cupholders.

 

[06Stang]

Hahahahaha I read this whole thread with your video playing in the background. When I was done I was like "WTF is going on?" then I realized you were still cruisin to work. I think it went well with the "whats rattling" comment cause it was going on in the background.

Anyway, I have a Bassani modular X and was trying to find longtubes too.

 

[07BlkGT]

I like the rattling especially if its golf club related.
Sounds great and gotta love the pricing
