anyone have any experience with pacesetter headers or exhaust
as the name states... i know theres better brands out there... i like the sound of the invidia and the millitek but i can get a header and exhaust through pacesetter for what just the exhaust costs from those guys... so my question is does anyone have any experience with them, how do they sound? how do they hold up? how is the drone inside the cab? ive ran pacesetter headers and exhaust on other vehicles before and never had issues, but they were all V8's of course... only thing i ran into was rust on one of my tow rigs because of salt water... but the mini wont be swimming LOL

I don't personally have experience with any of the MINI headers, however from the online research I have done, the primary complaint and reason for failure in general is a too-small flex section. There seems to be two distinctly different offerings from all the cheapo brands (and they're all the same essentially) - one with a small pancake looking flex section, and then others with a longer and more appropriate flex piping area. The folks with the smaller flex section seem to have nearly all reported failure / leaking, while the others seemed pleased with their purchases.
Beyond that, the fancy ones are tuned to scavenge exhaust pulses and thus make power.

Drivetrain Headers or no Headers, that is the Question.
