Catless DP with the stock catback is fine here. Loud enough for me & flows well.

If you get an intake, be prepared to tune for it. It skewed my LTFT's 10% or so. Not enough to throw a code, but quite a bit of offset.

Get the K&N Drop in, mod the airbox step 1.
DP #2 (catless if you can get away with it)

Do you have a tune? If not, you should find someone locally to tune the car or you can get the Trifecta tune.

Then Charge Piping, better Front Mount, Intake if you want etc..

My .02 anyway

K&N drop in with Airbox mod... Only PROVEN performer yet.
Catless Downpipe
Tune (possibly the best bang for the buck mod PERIOD! Hptuners if you can find one or Trifecta)
Charge Pipes (I honestly prefer CIA even though I bought Dejon's junk pipes)
Better FMIC

Should net you a pretty nice moving car!

Here's mine with the AEM intake & tuned for it. I had the WOT KR with the K&N/Airbox mod as well so ignore that please.

I wish I could figure out the timing issues, you know that.

Yeah, but that's the stock IC near the top of 4th with IAT2's at 100*f.

I see 30 lbs/ VE at the top of 2nd. It still pulls way better than the Trifecta original (not Extra Krispy) tune.

One of the things I learned from my oldest brother in 1969...no matter how fast you are, someone is gonna be faster. 1967 GTO 400 4bbl. 14 sec car back in the summer of '69.

LOL I understand... but 13* c'mon! Yeah I pull about 30-31ish throughout.

But I have ALOT more timing than you.... my new IAT2's were 88* tonight on a hard 1-3rd pull!

13.5 * is what's left after the KR. The tables are 17ish. Just can't run that much on the crap gas around here. 1BBBSC>me. lol

We digress...

OP - The ZZP catless DP is good quality for the price, others are more expensive now that CIA pulled the price match deal. I don't think the gains of a catback exhaust justify the expense, just my opinion of course. The $$$ is better spent on a tune. Without the tune the 'learndown' in the ECU cuts everything back to near stock levels.

Not sure if this is a fact or just coincidence, but WantedSS/TC has the CIA 3" catless and I have the ZZP 3" catless, for some reason my car is a LOT louder. We have the same mods other then brands. Just weird that my car is quite loud and his is only at WOT.

The ZZP Catless is definitely louder than the Clear Image catless under normal acceleration. WOT they're about the same (ZZP still louder), but you notice a difference in every day driving when comparing the two
