Pacesetter products, good?

What's up guys, not exactly v6 f-body related, but I know y'all can give some good info.
I'm a former v6 firebird poster, spend my time in GTA related boards the last couple years.
I've got a 6cyl 3rdgen Supra Turbo (89) that I use as my daily driver now.
Was looking into Pacesetter as far as exhaust & headers.
I know they're cheaper than a lot of other parts out there, especially for my app., but was wondering how you folks liked their products.
Do they sound good? Lasting quality, finish, etc?
Thanks for any tips as always.

Never heard of a V6 Supra.

Sure you don't mean a 7MGTE inline DOHC 6 cylinder? I've got one in my front yard

Never been impressed with their quality - but it IS better than a lot out there (Flowtech, anyone?) My gripe is their lack of quality on the 'finish' - make sure to get them ceramic coated!!

thanks for the advice so far, i will get the headers coated.

oh and yes, you got me there, it's not a "v", but an inline 6.

how fast is your turbo 3.1 in comparison to the 7mgte?
i do love my GTA, but for a daily driver, the Supra definitely has some nice qualities.

i see a lot has changed and there are a few more products available since i left the v6 firebird world.
i imagine y'all are getting faster and faster.

No comparo from a roll. The 7mgte is still on the stock ct26, @ 6.7psi - and it's an automatic

I'd say the Supra feels like mid/low 15s. The Camaro feels like mid/high 13s, if I can ever get it to hook up
