Default Pacesetter exhaust - cheap, average, or good?

A guy near me is selling a full Pacesetter cat-back for about $100, barely used. This is $60 less than NOPI's price... but the fact that it's so inexpensive even new is suspicious. Is this at all reputable, and decent? Anyone know what kind of sound it gets, and/or hp gains? Thanks!

I would rather shove a flaming stick of poo in my ear then put a pacesetter on my car.... Poor quality and a farting bumblebee sound. Save up for something good.

So the exhaust is as bad as the headers, eh? That's a shame. No wonder the guy is unloading them so fast. I think he's only had them for about a month, maybe less. Probably enticed by the price. I won't succomb... thanks!

My roomie got a Pacesetter header for his CRX a while back. It was rusted and looked like ass in about a month or 2.

A good rule to remember is, you get what you pay for.

Mike, he doesn't want to sell it, does he? I have a friend looking for something cheap, and hell, you can always throw high temp paint on em after sanding them down! :thumbup:

Don't be frugal if you want good parts... you'll end up buying the one you should have purchased in the begining...
