    just to start off, the maker of this, YOU CAN **** YOURSELF.

    they are a horrible company, not only to Grand prixs, but Fbody and trucks as well.

    I am so sick of there horrible craftsmanship.

    i have always had to custom bend there crap to work and always cut and re-weld.


    Now i almost have my car done, and your stupid ass ypipe you call it finally sealed on my pipe and then it ripped because you decided to use clamps and cheap thin FAKE STEEL and not something better, now i cant even get the damn pipe off the motor, and when i call you, you give me a hard time and try and charge me 95 dollars PLUS SHIPPING for a freaking small dinky horribly designed pipe.

    when i can spend 100 more and get a real header.

    now when i asked them how do i get this pipe off my car, there response was well go to a muffler shop. we can't help you, and then when i asked if maybe i could get a discount on the pipe because of all my troubles they said NO, and i told them this kit is ONLY a half a year old and my flex pipe is Fked they said your going to have to buy a new one.

    PACESETTER. you have lost me as a customer and i will NEVER EVER EVER go back to you even if your giving away free candy. GOOD DAY

    i'll eat my words then. from what i heard, most people end up taking them in to have a couple pieces welded together because of leaks...

    i know that my speed daddy's had some issues for a while, but i worked out all the kinks over a short time period...and i knew i would because they were super cheap...i expected it

    You apparently have never dealt with used/warped TOG's...also...what is so bad about them then? They have the biggest primaries besides TOG X's.

    and there were only three sets of TOG xtremes, sooo, not getting those.

    however, pacesetters have been proven to work given the right 'technique'.

    once welded you pretty much have to remove the EGR.

    which is a no go here.

    Hence getting rid of them.
