    If it is the tubular one, and not the cast iron one, then yes.

            need to install: e-spec headlights, clear turn signal housing, pacesetter adjustable short show shifter, sprint springs

              man the pacesetter shows nothin but gains on the bp's. only complaint is they rust. but any non coated steel will rust. The couplers have some issues, and could have been made better. But all the other gripes come from people have have neve rused the header.

                          subpar build quality- hangars didn't line up, ****ty welds, etc.

                          this was on a friend's car- i was never convinced that pacesetter was worth spending money on from most reviews i had read, and this basically confirmed it.

                              ahh i have heard alot of complaints on the exhaust systems. i heard the mufflers rust real bad. i have no complaints about the headers tho. As soon as i installed it, i was extremly satisfied..
