F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about PaceSetter products, installation, and performance.

What makes PaceSetter headers different from other brands?

PaceSetter headers are built using 16-gauge mandrel-bent tubing for smooth airflow and improved performance. They feature precision-cut flanges for a leak-free seal and are available in a durable ARMORCoat ceramic finish, which helps reduce engine bay heat and protects against corrosion.

Do I need to modify my car to install PaceSetter exhaust systems?

Most PaceSetter exhaust systems and headers are designed as direct bolt-on replacements. They include the necessary hardware and gaskets for installation, though some long-tube headers may require minor adjustments or custom exhaust work depending on the vehicle.

What is the difference between shorty, mid-length, and long-tube headers?

Shorty headers: Ideal for street use; compatible with factory catalytic converters and designed for easy installation.

Mid-length headers: Provide a balance between street and performance use, improving mid-range power and torque.

Long-tube headers: Deliver maximum top-end horsepower and are commonly used for high-performance or off-road applications.

Why choose ARMORCoat ceramic coating?

ARMORCoat ceramic coating is a high-temperature finish that withstands up to 2000°F. It not only prevents rust and corrosion but also reduces under-hood temperatures, improving performance and extending the life of surrounding components.

Many PaceSetter headers and exhaust components are 50-state legal and CARB-compliant where specified. Always check your local emissions regulations or product description before purchase.

Testimonials

Rigoberto

Looks good just the right size. Nice sound too.

Kevin

Installed the PaceSetter CA emissions mani-cat on my 2005 Ford Focus to replace a broken flex pipe. Fit was good, no codes, decent power, and 6 months in it’s holding up well — a great bolt-in solution if you know your way around tools.

Nick L.

Perfect fit for my car and noticeable improvement in exhaust flow. Quality build and easy installation. Definitely worth it!
