MrJim Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I spent 5 1/2 hours watching the local muffler shop install the new Pace Setter headers, Flowmaster Muffler, and dual pipes out the rear. Here is the complete story with lots of photos... http://www.nissanpathfinders.com/headers.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzardking Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 What is next? How about a sound clip, of your rig's new system? Overall Jim that looks great. I wonder though How much that cost you, not including the headers. If you didnt pay great deal, that might be a better alternative to the manifold seal replacement. Good job on the pic's...........

88pathoffroad Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 She tells me that I will never get it back on resell. I said, who is planning to resell??? Mwuahahahahaha, my point exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJim Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 I will do a small clip with engine revs after they finish up on Monday. They charged $225 to install headers. The whole thing cost me nearly $500 though because I had them install new exhaust all the way back, including the $125 Flowmaster muffler. If someone spent $200 on headers and then $225 for installation, that would be much cheaper than what most shops charge to just repair one side on the manifold issue. It is not as loud as it was, but it sounds more tuned if you know what I mean. It sounds good. They started the engine with only the headers installed at one point to move Pathfinder backwards a little. That was awesome sounding, but I do not think the local police would allow that.

Mr. Jim, So how much did you spend for the whole thing including the Headers? I'm a little confused. 300 - headres 225 - for install 125 - for muffler Thx. -bounce- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookie Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Headers/exhaust...nice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJim Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Here is the breakdown. Headers - $225 Muffler - $125 Dual Pipes with Chrome Tips - $100 Labor - $225 Total cost was $775, including all parts, shipping, and taxes. The shop will install just headers for $225 labor and headers cost $225 too, so it would cost you $550 for this with no other modifications to the exhaust.

jmcardamone Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Jim, Why not Just drop 2 Cats in the Beast? Would that Violate your Emmisions Ordinance? -alcohol- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJim Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 They did not have the option to buy the precoated. As for the dual catalytic converters, I spent enough money this month on it already. Remember that I have about $800 more going into Calmini Steering and front end components tomorrow.

MaritimeMan Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Jim, would it be easier to install the with the motor pulled? Just curious, looks like mine may need to come out any how, and might do that in the process. Thanks, M.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowser Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Been Digging up some info on headers recently Cause my Y-Pipe is fired. Figured maybe instead of buying a new Y-Pipe maybe I would pick up the headers and do the WHOLE shibang. Question though. I Know you have Pace Setters in your Rig MrJim, but I've been looking at those Doug Thorley's. Now while I view through all his info on his main site, I noticed that it says for the Nissan Path, the Headers they sell are for a Rig with no Lift. Hmmmm, Im assuming this is for Fitting them on. Does anyone have any info on whether or not a 91 Path with a 3" inch lift will be out of luck on Thorley's or not? Perhaps someone out there has them on with a Lift as well. As far as the Pace Setters Go, MrJim, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that your Path is Lifted and wondering if you had any installation problems due to it. Any info is appreciated. Dowser.

88pathoffroad Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It doesn't matter if the vehicle's slightly lifted or not, nothing gets in the way of the exhaust unless you have the Trailmaster 4" lift kit. That's the only disclaimer, because the front driveshaft has to clear the pipes. If you don't have the TM 4" lift, you shouldn't have a single problem.
