Hey guys,

Im new to the fourm but from what ive been reading about you guys seem to know your stuff..

Ive just purchased my first F-body and Im damn excited.... i just recently got my 96 camaro and i was looking for a complete exhaust redo....
ive heard wonderful things about Pacesetter.... and i was considering going with them... what parts would i need to get to go from the engine to the rear of the car.... how much money would i be spending?

thanks for any feedback...

You can find coated pace setters with their y pipe for around 500$ plus shipping. Then grab you a hooker aerochamber exhaust for under 300$ and you're done. Good sound too. There are plenty of audio clips of this set up.

 

Dan,

Yould be needing headers, y-pipe and then a catback exhaust. That would cover from the engine back. You could spend anywhere from $800 on upwards of a little over $2000. What kind of sound are you going for? Loud? Deeper tone? Higher tone? Do you have to be emissions copliant? Give us some more info and i'm sure some guys will shout out what they think would work for ya the best.

 

i just spent right at $1000.00 for the following and did all the work myself. hope this gives you a good estimate and advice of what all to do.

pacesetter painted LT's
pacesetter off road y-pipe
slp loudmouth I catback
slp adapter kit (may not need)
header gaskets (mr.gasket)
zip ties
taylor 8.2mm plug wires
NGK tr55 plugs

 

As mentioned above, I would factor in the little things as well as they do add up in cost:
Header Bolts
Header Gaskets
02 extension harnesses (if using long tubes)
Rear 02 simulators ( if using long tubes or any type of off-road y-pipe)
New plugs& wires (always a good idea)
PCM tune( if deleting EGR&AIR systems)
A couple cans of PB Blaster and shop rags
3" Band Clamps (optional, Pacesetter supplies u-clamps but I find the band clamps to seal just as well without distorting the pipes)

That is all I can think of right now.

 

im looking for a deep loud but not loud enough to make me deaf type of tone... i would like to be emissiosn compliant but i live in michigan and they dont check for that kinda stuff so it doesnt really matter to me.... i was looking to spend around 900$ or a lil more...... keep the info rolling...

thanks
Dan

 

I got Jet Hot Coated Headers and ORY all for $530, but don't take my price for it, they're a little more then that, where I work I get company prices. I'm also looking to go with the GMMG, which is the best sounding echaust other then true duals. So I'm looking at probably around $500 for the GMMG (again, where I work helps, mainly my boss is friends with some of the guys over there so he could probably help me out a bit) So I'm looking at about $1100 all said and done, my price. On average it could be up to another $300-$500 more, and again, LT's and GMMG are the best sounding exhaust on these cars.

 

what exactly is GMMG, LT',s and ORY?

 

GMMG = a pricey, yet top of the line chambered cat back exhaust, LT's = Long Tube Headers, ORY = Off road y pipe.

thanks steve even tho i prolly should have know that.... dur

 

I can remember asking that same question around Five years ago. You wont learn if you dont study and ask questions.

 

I have Pacesetter LT's with an ORY and a GMMG. I LOVE IT!!!! Oh gawd it sounds sooo good. It will get pricy though lets add up all my parts:
GMMG - 750
LT's w/ORY - 550
Madwolf Tune w/OBD I conversion - 225
9mm wires with OVC wire looms - 120
gaskets, ARP bolts, band clamps - 100
o2 Sensors - 80
o2 extensions - 40
motor mounts - 60

total - 1,725

BUT, I couldn't be happier with the setup, LOL.

 

you have any sounds clips of this setup?

 

GMMG does sound very very whicked.

If it doesnt go fast, it will at least sound like it should lol.

 

eh my car definatly isnt the fastest f-body out there but she has some kick but anyway... whats the difference in an off road y pipe and and i guess an none off road one? if there is even such a thing.... thank god i sound like such a noob
