Review on πŸš— Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with Pace Setter 70-1209 Black Exhaust Header by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pacesetter 3.8l v6 Camaro/Firebird 95-02

Firstly the photo is not correct although the title is correct. 70-1209 is the exhaust manifold, all gaskets and bolts AND the Y-pipe. It was packed in another box filled with packing peanuts. Very well packed. The screws came well secured in a box within the box. Gaskets come in cardboard sleeves, not bent or anything. THIS ITEM FITS: 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02 Firebird/Camaro 3.8L (NOT 3.4L) v6 Models Black coating will melt off after 1-2 days. You are not very pretty. It was the cheapest price I found, it beat ebay and the pacemaker. Installation: complex. Instructions were included, very helpful. While there are many bolts that are difficult to reach, as well as connectors, oxygen sensors, spark plugs, etc. If you come across a rusty bolt and it pops, you may need a bit of trimming. I had to cut the heat shields on the headers to get at the screws on the headers. THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK! Not everything has to be saved, from the manifold to the downpipe. Note: Not available with O2 sensors. Don't cut them. All in all the setup was worth the effort and time, I gained a very noticeable amount of horsepower from it. It also gave my exhaust a nice sound. A GREAT combo when you pair the Magnaflow Catback exhaust with these headers. I highly recommend. Great purchase, thanks Pacesetter! EDIT: 5/16/2011 - These tracks sound very good after about a month. The power is fantastic. I think you could think of this as a "breaking in" period to allow them to reach their maximum potential.
