Default Pacesetter LT's worth the $$$$?????

Thinking about getting some pacesetters. Are they worth the money for the amount of power you get. Did you really notice much difference with them. Anyone have any numbers on how much power they made or reduced their et's. Just trying to justify spending 500+ if the gains are minimal.


Thanks, Mark

I will be dynoing mine on April 1st, sorry no before dyno numbers, and possibly take it to the track again. The headers really woke up my little cam, it flat pulls hard from 2000 rpms up now.

Most people usually see a 20/20 gain throughout so it might peak a little higher.

I don't have any before/after dyno numbers, but they definitely improved the SOTP feel. I got mine for a lot less than $500 though. Fit and finish are great, and even after a year and a half on the truck they still look like new.

I could definalty tell a SOTP improvement when I put my on my SS. I had my exhaust reworked and took off the magnaflow resinators and left the x pipe and dual magnaflows and my actually got a little quiter.

Yes, exhaust is definitely louder w/ the ORY. I got mine from a GP through a non-sponsor that i wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. It took FOREVER to get mine.
