Pace Setter exhaust any good?

I have found a pace setter on the nopi site for what i believe to be a verry good deal (site ) but i was wondering if it is just a cheap peace of crap, or actually worth getting? also has anyone found an exhaust system for around the same price that is worth getting?

thanks in advance for any positave feedback

looks like a great deal...but it will cost to get it installed, unless you do it yourself...

Not that I know from experience but I have heard that they are garbage. 'They rust really fast and are restrictive' are the two most common complaints I have heard. Get your own made with either crush bent or mandrels with a high flow cat and muffler. It will cost about the same and be much better.

from what i heard the pacesetter is only 2" piping. You can go with a turbo flowmaster and new cat with 2 1/4, or 2 1/5 for about the same price. I know i did! And it sounds great! Haha i made a topic about exhausts a couple months ago.

it may rust a lil fast i would agree...but it does NOT restrict airflow because my car seems to move alot of it..
