While I think the CA is awesome for 2.2/2.4's (I have the CA header/2.5" de-cat downpipe combo on my 2.4SS), I think the CA header's collector is a tad on the small side for a 2.0SS/SC. I'd go with the ZZP cat-less combo if I were you. Rasp FTW suckas!!!! :twothumbs

I want to do those size tires but i'm lowered, and I actually want to switch my springs up for the H&R race for the real low look :).

Just afraid it'll rub. Might look into 235/35/18 or 235/40/17

Im personally getting the ZZP mid length header 1 3/4" Ceramic coated and d/p 3" full S/S with the cat. Not bad for $600.

I just got the zzp combo w/out the cat and its amazing. I just need to get a resonator to quite it down a little bit.

yea thats the biggest issue i've heard is the noise.. however supposedly the vibrant combo is very loud, but when i heard it on my friends RL it wasn't that loud for me however another resonator would probably give a more mellow tone, people need to start getting in on that damn group buy because i've been itching to get that damn thing and now is my chance :lol:

personally i want my exhaust to be a tad louder but not rediculous

Yeah it will be louder than the rest but a little too loud for me, kinda raspy. A resonator should do the trick and make it sound perfect.

Vibrant header dp and cat. Cant complain about the performance and sounds nice. ZZP is solid as well. One of the two should treat you nice.

I agree, thats why i got mine on special. turbotech runs them every once in a while, price for the whole setup is commensurate with the zzp

Psssh.....alignment......lol.

I've had my Sportlines on for over a year now with no alignment and no problems. Also, I roll on 19"s with no recalibrated speedo and no tickets. All that AND its daily driven. 33k in one year. :cool:

Vibrant header and downpipe

I have a ZZP 3" Downpipe w/no cat on my car and I love the performance but I dont like the way it sounds when you romp on it. reminds me of a cheesy Honda exhaust. I just ordered a Magna-Flow exhaust so I am anxious to see what it will sound like when I put that on.

I have the Hahn header with the Random downpipe from crate engine. I am VERY satisfied with the combo.
