so i got my stimulous pay from uncle sam. i am pretty sure im going to go with a megan catback and zzp header/dp combo. my question is if you have to you like the sound? does any one have any other suggestion on a exhaust set up? but from my research people zzp has the best bang for the buck and sounds good and megans are well built and sound deep. so i thinkin together they should sound bad ass. input please.

also i was going to get the cat-back first then when i get to my transfered to my next Station i was going to order the header/dp. and is +100 bucks worth it for ceramic coating?

 

I use Vibrant Header and downpipe combo connected to my magnaflow cat back and its all a deep low tone until you get high into boost then it gets loud

 

ive been doing a lot of looking around right now, and what ive seen/heard is that the vibrant is typically more reliable then the zzp, but its sort of a hit or miss thing...

the other thing is that the vibrant is Stainless Steel, and comes with a high flow cat. it also has 1 3/4 " primaries. by the time you upgrade the zzp to comparable in quality, ie ceramic coating, larger primaries, high flow cat, etc. the prices are about the same...ish depending on shipping or where you get it.

based on what ive seen and heard, your best bet would be to see if any local parts dealers can get you a decent price on the vibrant, the zzp you typically have to get from them, so if a dealer can get you the vibrant, you wont have to worry about shipping, and youll have a good, high quality item, with decent gains.

^^^this link should be for the thread with a dyno on the vibrant set up.

as for the rest of the exaust system, its mostly preference.
