I HAVE THIS POS HEADER ON MY 88 1.5L HATCH AND IT SUCKS THE PACESETTER COMES WITH
CHEAP GASKETS AND THE SYSTEM LEAKS LIKE A SIVE. I MUST HAVE REPLACED THE GASKET
FOR THE HAEDER AT LEAST 5 TIMES.

 

THE PACE SETTER SYSTEM SUCKS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE IT ON MY 88 1.5L HATCH
THE HEADER GASKETS LEAK LIKE A SIVE DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY.
BUY BETTER YOU WILL SAVE THE HASSLE

 

THE PACESETTER HEADER HAS THE WORST GASKETS EVER MADE, I HAVE A 1.5L 88' HATCH
WITH A FULL PACESETTER EXHAUST WHICH IS JUST HORRIBLE, ALL THE GASKETS ARE PAPER
AND THE MUFFLERS INTERIOR SOUND LIKE IT HAS BROKEN INTERNALL PARTS
STAY AWAY FROM PACESETTER AND SAVE YOURSELF THE AGGRAVATION![:@]

 

uhhh..stfu



stop posting the same thing about your 88 hatch ...i think we got the point the first time.

and your keyboard has a key...it says "caps Lock"....press it and see what happens!

 

Are you sure you torqued all the bolts?

 

i had a pace setter header on a 00 cavalier and would only recomend it if you get the armor coated ones. otherwise DC would be my first choice.

 

I've heard that some people haven been unsatisifed with the quality of welds on the pacesetters but that was with the domestic V8 car and truck crowd.

 

this post is old as crap, so no one's reading it anymore most likely...

BUT for what its worth, the uncoated pace setter headers will rust very quickly... i put a set on a tacoma.. the construction was good, but the stock black paint literally burned off within 20 min... then they rusted.

to use the uncoated you'll have to put some high temp paint on them.. but you'll have to remove the stock black paint first... pain in the butt...

its dumb that pace setter ever sold the exhaust stuff w/ plain black paint knowing it would burn off immediately.

 

oh well (about it being old), it's good info and might help someone who searches the forum for answers or advice
