I see alot of Pacesetter hate on the various Ram forums but a friend of mine has a set on his Ram since just a couple years after he bought it new and has had no problems. Did they use to have better quality or did he just get lucky?

Ive been reading that people had rust through and cracked welds with the pacesetters. I dont know if any of those had the same problems with the ceramic coated .

Pacesetters BLOW. They are junk, their quality, forget anything else.. their quality both in material and design is JUNK.

+1 to that. Material cracks and blows holes in primary tubes (seen on a set of longtubes) and longtubes have too big of primary tubes to be of REAL use.

Im running Stainless Steel unfinished JBA shortys and love em. Same great quality of Gibson but easier to get to the bolt holes and the collector has a better merge. Only complaint is clearance between them and the 5,6,7,8 plug wires. But i just got creative with my routing and don't have to worry about it now
