Ok, I'm in need of opinions.

My exhaust sucks big time. Sounds terrible!!! I'm looking at a pacesetter exhaust on ebay for a reasonable price. I've heard that they rust out prematurely, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have this exhaust system? If you do, do you like it/dislike it?

I was thinking about an SSAutochrome system until I read some threads on here that people really disliked their quality. Any help would be great!

SSA's Exhaust is good from what I've heard, but I'd stay away from the Pacesetter for SURE.

It does have those problems, and is cheap in quality.

Heh.

I've got an MBRP sitting in my closet here...

i have the SSA header, and besides a few fitment problems i realy like it. my exhaust doesnt sound the best though, i blame it on the APC muffler. my stock muffler just about fell off a little while ago, and the APC was the only muffler i had to replace it untill i can afford something better (which should be sometime before the end of the month)

REDZMAN: That MBRP, is it a full catback? If it is are you interested in selling it? If you are, I'll take a look at it when I come down.

The SSA exhaust should be fine to buy... you can't really mess up an exhaust design wise. As long as the materials used are good, than the end product will be fine. Granted it fits properly.

When you get into headers, intake manifolds, etc. is where you really start to see the quality of the manufacturer. Which is why some people run into problems with SSA headers.

It's a full catback.

I may sell it, I'm buying the Apexi and was going to put this one on the wife's car. If she doesn't want it...

Yeah, if she doesn't want it, I would definitely be interested. I'm not in a big rush, so talk it over and just let me know when I get down there. Thanks REDZMAN
