Last review I read, in Sport Compact Car [I think], said the Pacesetter exhaust made -1.9 HP under OE. That is, the stock exhaust made 1.9-HP more HP than the Pacesetter exhaust. DCSports seems to be the one to have. It made like 5 or 6-HP more than stock. That's a lot of money for practically no gain IMO.

If you are short on money and don't want to buy an expensive cat-back, I recommend going the custom route. Buy a nice, stainless muffler and take it to an exhaust shop. Have them put ~2.25" piping on it, and you'll be good to go.

pls dont get pacesetter... if you're really trying to save money on an exhaust system, get hp or obx. i've seen an obx full cat back for like $299 and it's all stainless steel-even the pipes...it sounds good too.
