Hey yall, as the title says I’m getting everything replaced today. Should have it back later today and will share more photos. I spent months researching, reading everything on here and watching youtube lol. Im curious if anyone else has them? Or what your thoughts are on going with this setup.
Excited to see how it turns out, and to let yall know. Ok, brb.

Cool but no cats?

I just ordered the Pacemaker header with the 100/105 downpipe that goes inside the frame rails. I'd love to hear a clip of your setup and get any feedback on how the rig feels after installing it.

Nice, that's not too loud at all. Notice any power changes after getting it installed?

Yes I def feel it. Once I get over about 25 and rpms are above 2200. Also when speeding up, heading onto the freeway it def has a nice pull. I wouldnt say its major hp added but Ive read someone post that they dyno tested and it was several or more hp. Im pretty sure it was ACC garage in Atlanta.
I also had to do one full drive cycle after install. That part was super quick and easy.

I wanted this set up when my exhaust needed replaced but I could communicate or coordinate ordering directly or with any retailer at that time. I now wish I had had more patience ha. How does she sound in person ?

Where are you located? You can buy from Pacemaker directly, bestmufflers.com (that's where I ordered mine) and a couple other places. Pacemaker and bestmufflers both ship to the USA.

Awesome. I found that post. They said 17hp with the header + exhaust without any cats. I didn't see any dyno sheets, but 17hp sounds about right. I'll know for sure when I get my rig dyno'd before and after.

I've got Pacemaker headers and KB exhaust fitted up to my 80 with a 1hz and they are a very good design and fit. Better IMHO than Genie headers.

I like the 1hz (even though there are many diesel fanboys and gridgirls who think n/a diesels are for pussies) and would continue using Pacemaker's headers, etc. if I replace the almost 700 k km original 1hz with another.

Yea it def takes a minute to get the order but it was just because its overseas, other than that once i was emailing them that was super efficient and quick! In person it all sounds great, nice purr from cold start and then rips at a good medium note after warmed up. Once u get going even higher rpm its not offensive lol

I got mine from performance mufflers and spoke directly to David Stevenson. He was super helpful

Awesome, can you post up a vid or pics of your rig too? I cant find enough vids or others with the pacemaker set up, need more lol

For sure. I'm going to use a Magnaflow 12286 muffler. It's the longest 2.5" muffler they have that will fit (from what I can tell). I got a corvette exhaust complete with cats for $50, so I'll be using that piping (all mandrel bent) and v-bands for clamps.

I second this. We need more clips!
