I know. Mostly it's a playful tone, but since I am the first i know of to get these headers it would be good to keep the thread pure until I could get the final write up completed.
I removed the youtube video because it was taken when i had all the issues. tomorrow I get the engine tune and I will post a new one with (hopefully) all ailments alleviated and it will be freaking awesome. And...I think I sound like a queerball so I want one up where I am not talking lol.
update tomorrow.

Here is a little update on the 3.4 pacesetter headers install: I went to a different brake and muffler shop and asked if they could do anything about the pipe vibrating the heat shield like crazy and making that sound like crap. They succeeded in heating up and bending the pipe and no more shield vibration which is good.
There is always a black lining though in my stories...
Wife and I were cruising a bit and I gunned it to pass a car and..."foomp..brrrraaaathththththt." The effing headers popped off in the rear or the damn exhaust detached from headers. I hope it is the latter.
Bullshit. FML.

I'm assuming that when they heated and bent the pipe, they forgot to tighten that particular bracket down. It's better than the headers actually coming off. The force of me gunning it just shot the tubing out-but it is all still hanging in there. Just need to nurse it for a couple miles to the shop where the ahoes are going to fix it.
Can't wait to be out of this town...

After today, maybe. Just found out the original shop stripped a couple bolts on the front headers=leak=burnt gaskets=re-do!! Get it back today-should be a lot different than before I hope.
Update: headers are properly sealed now and where the front used to roar, it is more along the lines of a purr now. I can actually hear my exhaust again, which sounds much nicer. I am inspired once again.

I think it sounds nice. Didn't know headers made that big of a difference. I had the Pacesetter exhaust which I liked but never got to the headers. In fact, I think they weren't available at the time anyway.

It doesn't have the true pacesetter exhaust though. These videos were taken with a 2.25" catback, not the 2.5" that comes on the pacesetter exhaust. New videos to come when the exhaust is re-done.
