Pacesetter Exhaust
Anyone try this? not the headers but the ful exhaust. I've heard good things about pacesetter systems for other cars, and they have good sound.
The price is right up my alley, but if the fit/performance isn't up to snuff I'll keep saving for Corsa.

The good things about Pace Setter
1. They make exhaust and headers for just about anything.
2. The performance gain is OK.
3. Its cheap compared to the others.
The bad things about Pace Setter
1. Fit and finish can be atrocious
Heres the thing IMO, whats acceptable for my beat up DD Jeep Cherokee (I have one of their headers on my 4.0L) isn't quite what I'd want to put on my Corvette. My mech has put alot of their stuff on the odd ball imports stuff at his shop, ie. MX-3/6's, Escorts, Hyundias ect. Their stuff worked well for those cars mainly because you couldn't get anything else for them. Their Quick Trip LT headers for F-bodys are good performers but the fit is down right horrid, I mean you have to beat the crap out of the floor pan on the pass side to make them even fit on the car. Of course they are cheap compared to the other stuff out there and make the power but ask yourself if your willing to live with it on your Corvette. Pace Setter's stuff has its place in the world but IMO its not up to Corvette standards.
