i have heard alot on here that they arent made good at all and arent very nice design...now this is just peoples opinions on here and i have no info of my own to back it up so dont take my statements to heart. im sure there is someone on here running some. also u have to think that any header is better than just manifolds.

What part of the exhaust?

Headers, probably not a good idea. They're cheap and expensive.

Cat-back, the pipes are pretty good, but the muffler has three 2-1/2" openings, with the inlet expanded outside the case to accept the 3" I-pipe. I never ran it, put a Flow in its place. Haven't heard from the guy who bought the muffler how it works for him.

I have a cat back system, sounds good and you can't beat the price. I had to cut down the inlet side of the dirvers side exhaust tip so both side were centered, but no biggy.

They are not the best for out of the box fitment. I have a 3 inch cat back that breaks down to 2.5 out of the muffler. the Pipes are all mandrel bent which is a plus. I cut the tail pipes off a few inches off so they could be tucked under with some new chrome tips. The cheap jcwhitney exhaust was the same design just did not have pacesetters name on it. I am happy with the results after a little modification flows and sounds nice been on car 2 years with light use and still looks like new. You get what you pay for so be ready to modify as needed for this install. But as I see it I could replace a few times before I would meet the price of a expensive system. Nice solid pipes just make sure you have a way to cut the tail pipes to center and adjust as needed.
