dave what does your car sound like with the pacesetter headers/highflow cat/ dynomax exhaust. I have all but headers just wondering if they sound good or sound like a fart can

What is the PA regulations for smog testing of 1985 cars?
I paid $60 thru Don's SpeedShop in Phoenix AZ.
I need one "now" and will probably get a PaceSetter Exhaust CC assembly.

not at all like a fart can. if you have all that, the headers will make it a bit louder and tougher sounding. i havent really run mine a whole lot yet so if they have to "break in" they probably havent yet. but im happy w/ them, id recommend them.

Is the sound difference with headers noticible?

Throatier? Rumblier?

Were the performance gains respectable?

Worth the $450?
