Has anybody used the Pacesetter big bore "Monza" Exhaust system.  I don't know anything about pacesetter but the pictue looks like a complete cat-back system.  But it's only $170.  Tell me what you think.

Here's a picture (http://www.jcwhitney.com/productnoitem.jhtml?CATID=34128&BQ=jcw2&_requestid=22319)

i've got the pacesetter catback on my car.

it used to have a mean deep growl at idle.
it used to set off car alarms when i would start my car (believe it or not)
it used to look nice (before the paint burned off of it)

notice i said used to.
this thing is a complete PIECE OF CRAP!

even my friends (who know nothing about cars) ask me why my car doesn't sound the way it used to. i never did notice any gains on the butt dyno.

i get pissed off everytime i see the word pacesetter.

Dang that sucks! &nbsp;What's it sound like now? &nbsp;Can you replace the Muffler with another one? &nbsp;Dave

it sounds okay at idle, but when i nail it it sounds like it's gonna jump from under the car and run away. kinda hard to describe really.

i guess i could replace the muffler, but no need to waste money since i'm saving for a convertible.

I've got a convertible-and I got the pacesetter on it. Sounds real nice, but needs to lower loudness by 30db. You can get sound clip here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2480845825

Yeah, it's too loud for me, hence the eBay auction. Has no resonator. Everyone thinks I am driving a Ferrari. Too bad my car has stock rims, automatic, and no turbo.

there is a reason why i always called mine a poopsetter..they are crap, it sounded good at first but then it started sounding liek shit..the only way it was ever a good exhaust was when I cut the monza tip crap off and had a ractive (i know but it was free) canister on it...then it sounded and looked like a 5zigen Fireball.. the only time i was happy with the exhaust was when i got 20 bucks for it and i put my waaaay better sounding n1 duals on...

my car came with a pacesetter/monza exhaust it sucks. It is too loud i have to shift at 3000rpm cause it is soo loud. And they rust alot. if you want one i will trade you mine for a stock one.

hahaha 1.) this thread is really old 2.) pacesetter should not be mentioned on here ever b/c 3.) everyone knows that its a total piece of crap!!!!! It's one of those things where you get what you pay for.

Now, lets let this thread go back to the abyss where it came from and stay there for eternity....
