Ok, Im puting my new one on rite? And It wont fit! So I whip out the dremel and go at it, now Theres a part that needs to be welded (my flex section) Got that done, now I pop the hood, all of my paint I put on is gone (1500 degree paint) And It sounds like a beat up car still!!!!! Its leaking from the 1 exaust port closest to the part I had to grind down to clear the thremostat area!@#@! Im so tired and I dont wana F-with it n e more.

personally I would have sent it back before the dremel It should have been designed to bolt right up.

I had to cut and extend the downpipe on my 1rst (and only) pacesetter header. it was the original 4-1 design that used the factory downpipe. It was several inches too short. In a word there headers are junk. Better off going broke paying $400 for a Brospeed or Greddy which is what I ended up doing after all said and done.
