i purchased a set of pacesetters from zzp , i got the ceramic coated ones, after looking at previous threads on this topic i seen the pics of the flaws with the pacesetters,: missed welds; bad welds; bad y-pipe, i wonder if they were listening, i noticed there was a pacesetter customer service rep in on the conversation, have they tried to fix any of there flaws? i already paid so they'll have to ork for now, i was on a budget and i needed headers so, pacesetter it was.

The items found on the pace setters were similar in nature to what others found with other brands.

Pacesetter'* rep did come on and mention that was fairly standard, which is in line with what we have seen on other brands as well. The only thing that was probably substandard was the paper gaskets.

if i get paper gaskets with these headers, i think i'll be getting oem metal gaskets instead, and i think i'll take a little time to do some prep work before installing. i guess you get what you pay for.

Well....JMO...in the VW world Pacesetters are the WORST(other than Ebay headers) headers u can buy. I personally wouldn't....again JMO. Good luck!

Frankly, in 10 minutes of searching, I've found only neutral or negative reviews on PS headers. No raving positive reviews at all. Lots of advice to other people to buy a different brand other than PS.

I've also discovered that in a very short period of time, PS, has flooded the market with headers for nearly every application under 2.0 liter displacement. Including a buch of hyundai'*.

Sounds like major corrosion issues over time from very low-quality material (many mentions of this in my searching).

Personally, other than a fitment issue because mine were intended for a differnet bodystyle(W-body), I love my SLPs. The guys over at RegalGS.org all wnet nuts over Pacesetters a while back, but I think some of them are starting to change their minds.
