Hey guys, I need to order a Catted DownPipe today and I am stuck between going with TurboXs and ZZP and possibly HAHN, I've heard good on all three and need some imput as to if the TurboXs is really worth the extra $100 Approx($319.00) over ZZP's at $229.00? Thoughts....

 

Anyone?

 

No, why would it be...

 

I wouldnt think so

 

ZZP is amazing I love all the stuff I have bought from them. However i have a turbo xs catted downpipe with stock catback and love the way it sounds... Its a hard choice because I love ZZP but the turbo xs downpipes sick

 

Well I dont know thats exactly why I'm asking the question....I have fair/good knowledge of the LSJ Platform but I'm 1 week into the LNF platform, So I'm new to everything including Turbo's.

 

ZZP ! I bought a used one for $100 and used the rest on a tune.

 

It's the same amount and size of piping. Both have same cat location. Unless they have different catalysts I don't see the point. Both claim to not throw codes. I'm sure every car is different but I got a 0420 after about 500 miles with my zzp catted downpipe. Would it stop me from recommending it....no. Both will make your car sound better and flow more. I wouldn't spend the extra hundred if I were you. I didn't and I'm happy.

 

Thanks Man, Point taken, I'm ordering the ZZP, If I Tune it at the time of Install will it still throw a code?

 

Also, When ordering the ZZP Catted Down Pipe do I need to order the Gaskets? Is it really necissary?

 

The turboxs one comes with gaskets. On another point, I know the cat in the turboxs one is spun metal. Is the one in the zzp dp metal? If not I'd say that's where the price difference comes from.

 

I didn't order new gaskets, no need. I got Trifecta and asked Vince to tune for downpipe and I have never had a CEL. Oh yeah I have a catless.

 

I have ZZP catted. I absolutely love it. You hear performance not rice! Its great and great price . ZZP all day

 

I have had a ZZP spun metal catted downpipe for a couple years. I agree it's awesome. The sound is great, the performance is great. I highly recommend it.

A small word on throwing codes. Just an interesting twist on my personal experience. I got a code for the rear O2. Then I had a long battle of having to rebuild the engine for the piston issue. During that, I replaced the rear O2. Code was still there and the car had cam angle codes as well. Long story short, I replaced the cam solenoids and not only did it fix the idle issue but the rear O2 code went away as well!
Just pointing out that apparently rear O2 codes can be set because OTHER stuff is not right.

 

Thanks guys, Does anyone have a Hahn DP? I was just curious?

 

zzp

 

sully once you get that downpipe go visit Nick at Backyard Turbo and get a tune from him, hes tunes are amazing. All my boys run his tune and have had no problems at all

 

You can get the code tuned out. I bought gaskets just in case sometimes **** doesn't go perfect. That being said my gaskets were reusable but I replaced them since I had them on hand.

 

I love the quality of mine, but i wanna go catless. Too bad you dont have a catless or i would trade ya.
Anyways, zzp is top quality stuff too, so turbo-xs is not worth the extra. But the turbo-xs is polished which will not rust as early as the raw aluminum the zzp and others are...

 

Yeah Man, I know...I'm always in contact with Nick, I just talked to him on Friday, I'm going up there once I get this DownPipe and BOV + Tune, He Tuned my LSJ and he is a Cobalt Genius!

 

I went ZZP Catless with both gaskets for under $180,nothing else Ive seen compares.

ZZP is full 304 stainless, no aluminum. (that and even if it was aluminum doesnt rust )

 

Aluminum does oxidize.

 

you guys know what i mean..the zzp and other downpipes are RAW material, and the Turbo-xs is a nice polished chrome material

 

I don't think it's chrome, I think it's polished stainless.

 

correct
