You get what you pay for . I have the Pacesetters, I did get the usual increase in performance that people get with longtubes.

But -Cheap bolts , Cheap gaskets NO exhaust flange on the collectors and I can't keep heat paint on them - not even the High Heat Primer with last

If you can afford the Dynatechs , get those - allot less hassle and there built to last.

you should also be considering the OBX as they are stainless steel as well and about the same price as the pacesetters

I love my pacesetter it has lasted over 8 years.

These guys usually have sound clips and decent prices:

Yea, I didn't go with the OBX because the metal is to thin and they will rust on the inside - there not stainless their!! - I know those would crack in time..

Go Dynatech, unless you live in a good climate where nothing will rust. I'm getting some when I can, doubt Santa is gonna hook up with them, hopefully Bilstein's instead!!!!! Once I get other car done and recover a bit from it's retarded expenses, Dynatech LT's and cats etc. will be bolted up. I like their setup because it will connect to my existing exhaust which I like and don't want to give up, JBA makes it and it's all stainless. Poney up some dough, or save but my vote goes to the Dynatech's. Nothing against Pacesetter, but I like and will pay for stainless. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does Pacesetter offer them in stainless too?, thaught I saw that once.

pacesetter uses carbon steel, which is actually stronger and more durable then stainless steel, but will rust from the inside a little quicker.
