Pace Setter Header
Wednesday, July 13, 2005 1:33 PM
Hey, I just met a guy today with a 97' Z24, he had a pace setter exhaust from, i wana say he said (optionsautosalon.com) for under 100 bucks, i was wondering if anyone here knows of that site, or a site that i can get a cheap header for around the 100$ range, this will be a great help....thanx.....

I don't like the pacesetter headers honestly. You can get an OBX 4-2-1 in stainless steel on Ebay for roughly $160 shipped and they are better quality. The Pacesetter catbacks are absolute crap. So don't let anyone con you into buying one of those.

Just search for "OBX 2.4"... I love my OBX 4-1 stainless header purchased on ebay although some have had issues with the gasket.

Pacesetter is fine. OBX is the same header as pacesetter.

My thing with pacesetter is their quality of steel and their finishes. Their armour coatings are decent finishes. And you have to extend your o2 sensor with the longtube Pacesetter header. As with my OBX 4-2-1, it's stainless steel, the quality was there, easy install, o2 sensor stayed in the same location, and it still looks great.

your obx is a old and dated copy of pacesetters 4-2-1 header , with the o2 sensor in a incorect location , because it only reads 2 cylinders instead of all 4 cylinders


also the obx header is not a high grade of stainless , and is made with thinner tubing than the pacesetter , ive installed both


pacesetter uses mild steel , yes it will rust (which is why 99.9% will recomend the coated) , the header is made in the US , is CARB approved

you'd probably know it if you got the armour coated one, which is ceramic coated. it's best for performance, looks, and durability. most likely you got the one with the black finish that wears off, and looks like @!#$. yes it will possibly rust a little but that happens to everyone. yes your o2 sensor will fit, you just might have to extend the wire.
