Pile o' Parts! (Pacesetter Install)

[Crazed98Camaro]

This is my lovely collection of parts, that I've been saving up for about 10 months now.
Pacesetters, Carsound Cat, Tuned PCM (I/E), Wideband O2, Aeroforce Scan Guage.
Not in the picture is Abbott racing Gaskets, and Stage 8 locking header bolts.



The pile of junk!



This picture really shows the difference between log style manifolds and what you are getting with the pacesetters.



Wheel Stand!!



More to come today!

Yeap, Mangaflow catback.

Gotta have it welded all up soon.

I should be done tonight. Running on open headers will be loud!!

Nice! get some sound clips up when you do!

Close, but no dice tonight.

Bolts for the y-pipe to the headers flanges were too long. Gotta make a trip to home depot tomorrow.

And I did need to make a passenger side 02 sensor extension, as do many.

Much prop to you for doing the work yourself.

Yes! I would be more than willing to send you that. I also have the complete exhaust if you need anything else. Where are you located? We can work out a price.

Niceeeee

Thanks!

Only way to do stuff these days. I love knowing that I put it on the car, and if something goes wrong its on me. I will have the welding and gearing done by professionals, but other than that, its all me and my friends.

Re: Pile o' Parts! (Pacesetter Install)

Done!!
Open y-pipe is louddd!

I couldn't take it past 2k RPM on the way home. Plus it was 11pm at night. EVERYTHING in the car vibrated.

Re: Pile o' Parts! (Pacesetter Install)

Now I have a problem.

Driving home, I'm pretty sure I felt the steering knuckle scraping against the header. It felt like I needed to add some extra power in turning the wheel when it got to the right position.

I will investigate tomorrow afternoon, but is that common?

Re: Pile o' Parts! (Pacesetter Install)

How are your motor mounts? Could be that one's going and making the engine tilt just enough to interfere with the steering.

For the Pace Setters did you have to remove the AC pump.
