Do some type of group buy on the downpipes ZZP! I know your price is already super low but if you do a group buy you will have a ton of people buying!

There is a certain sales psychology of pricing an item high and then putting in on sale or doing a group buy but we are trying to move the forum away from that and show people that you simple get a lot more mod for your money at ZZP, everytime.

Our downpipes are incredibly low priced compared to what many peopl are buying and selling on the forum. Example is our LNF downpipe in 304 stainless which can be made even lower with our $50 old DP trade in program. We're selling 304 stainless cheaper than CAI sells mild steel pipes for. If people aren't buying them at this price, no price drop is going to have people buying. But I suspect in a short while we'll be the only ones selling DPs. After all why would people pay double for the same part?

Well said ZZP and i completely agree. Its easy to offer a Group Purchase when you marked your product up alot to begin with. You guys offer your Downpipe at a great price, and i would LOVE to purchase and trade in my stocker for 50 bucks but i might need that come inspection. All i can say is when I have a few bucks to throw around ZZP has got some business from me

If I were to go with a CIA DP, which one would I have to get. On their site I see 4 different ones. I see that 2 of them are Aluminized and the other 2 are Stainless. I got that part, but whats the whole "Off-Road" stuff mean?

Aluminum rusts and doesn't last as long but it's cheaper.

I'm saying the material is not "aluminum" it's "aluminized" meaning it is between mild steel and stainless steel, but closer to mild steel, for corrosion resistance. Generally speaking, it's not recommended to mix materials in an assembly and the exhaust system on your Cobalt is all stainless so a stainless downpipe would a better choice. I'm not saying you CAN'T mix materials but I wouldn't do it.

I would never put an aluminum exhaust on my car even if I lived in Fl away from snow. If you invest money in your car spend a little extra and invest in quality parts aka 304 stainless steel.

At ZZP you can get a 304 one for less than the cost of aluminized pipes sold elsewhere. Should be a no brainer. If we did aluminized piping, we could sell them for about 100 bucks. Not sure how many people would put an aluminized part on a turbo car tho...

This has been an informative thread . It's great to see a vendor interact with the community in this way . Thanks for the Info ZZP , you sold at least one DP in this thread ( to me ) and i'm sure a bunch more.
