Monza PaceSetter

[Hondacide84]

I am currently under going a study of different catbacks and headers for my CB7. I am mainly focused on Monza PaceSetter as of right now, I would like to know how good are they? I have also looked at Greddy,Tsunami, Borla, HKS, etc.... you know the heavy hitters. Oh yea, along with a CAI whats the best or should I construct my own CAI. I willing to blow away at least 450-500 I calculated Monza and I could get a header and catback for that price range. Any information will be helpful, Thanks.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!

There's a reason its cheap which is it sh!tty quality and sounds like ass. DO NOT buy this.

Personally I like my Tanabe and it was only $350.

Yeah, I was in the same boat as you. I was thinking about getting the Monza exhaust system, but heard bad reviews.. Such as bad sounding and paint chipping. Not to sure about the headers though. I think there was a discussion somewhere on this board about them though.

To me the header looks like it has the same cheap paint and probably poor construction. Save your money and get an EX header.

[starchland]

yeah you get what you pay for, you dont wanna buy something thats gonna be crap in a few years. and by EX do you mean oem ^^^?

[NutBucket]

Yeah. A hell of a lot better then a Pacesetter.

[starchland]

cool so the ex header is pretty good then?

[NutBucket]

For the price of a DC header you might see 1 or 2 more hp. Hardly worth the cost over an EX one.

PaceSetter is crap dont do it. Dc sucks too. Notorious for cracking and looking like shit. I HAVE ONE!!!!!

[Hondacide84]

So which header and exhaust set up?

So what is the best header and exhaust combination on the market, oh yea I do have a 91 Ex so should I skip out on the header and just get an exhaust? Any info is appreciated, Thanks.

I've had a DC on my H22 for more then a year and it still looks great. Maybe its the SS ones?

i have a dc header 4-2-1 ceramic with a downpipe and seems to work well..i had it all professionally installed with the port and polish and etc....sounds nice and looks good, i have AEM cold air intake, which is pretty nice.. but i've heard that the metal tubing isnt very good cause it conducts heat and therefore kind of disableing the cold air affect...but anyways..im going with a dc header, ractive exhaust and hiflow cat...only cause i dont have that much cash...good luck

Just get an intake and a cat-back.

the ONLY reason id get one is to pass emissions with it sine it has a CARB number and everything, after that, id throw it away or save it for the next smog test.
