Took my buddy for a rip in the car tonight and my dp blew off the collector.It scared the **** out of me because I was at full throttle 7000rpm 17psi just about to shift and it broke off the car got so loud and acutally vibrated like crazy. I would think this should be warranty it was only on the car less than 100 kms (60 miles)

 

stock downpipe doubt they'll warrenty it with the smaller pulley you have on there is it a 2.85.

 

It is a zzp 3' catless dp I am running a 2.5" pulley I Don't think I have any gm warranty on my engine anymore

 

o whats the elevation up there wasn't lloking were you lived and most likely zzp will not cover that because you caused the damage.

 

we are at 3500 feet. and how did I cause the damage to the dp?

 

you need tranny mounts to stop the engine torque that broke that collector off

 

I am running polly trans inserts and cabs from intense. My car has all the supporting mods
it is done right so I thought dual pass he plate and extra he.
Also why do thet put the flex pipe in there in the first place then if the motor isn't supposed to move.

 

you had a defective downpipe i would give zzp a call back and see if they replace it, they should because there's no way that was your fault

unless of course you have no engine mounts and your engine twists 5-6 inches when you hit the throttle LOL

 

AlphaJag had the same Problem with His zzp, Looks Like they are Not Holding UP!

 

it looks like they were just cheap flex pipes, probably not able to hold up against the heat that comes through our exhausts compared to a normal car

 

I've had mine on for more than 10k miles and haven't had any problems.
Then again, I have the hi-flo cat, they don't.

 

I would assume they would send you a new one. Can't hurt to try.....

 

gotta email ZZP... you have to ship that one back and they send you a new one

 

I geusse thats a win...

 

the same thing happened to my zzp downpipe. good luck w there customer service. They wanted me to send them my mest up downpipe so they can inspect it and have it fixed then send out a fixed version. so in the mean time you will have a loud ass car.

 

Wow. I guess don't buy a flex pipe from zzp?

 

Wow, same thing happened to me with the stock dp...broke between the flex pipe and the cat...

 

Idk about the 2.0 but on the 2.4 the stock flexpipe is a little bit short.

Maybe even the ones the aftermarket guys are still a bit short.

The car does have a bit of bodyroll, so maybe that's why.. they're wearing down? I mean he's catless - so it'd have to be either that or from engine travel..

That is a really clean break though.. maybe that through-tubing isn't made very well.
