It's no wonder you and I get along so well.

 

Remove heat shield.


Problem solved

 

I spelled cents wrong on purpose, if you notice the rest of the misspelled words in that post. commeen cents?? I though everyone might realize that, but I am thinking not.

And yeah I am on my man period, but you were the one who started by mocking me. So here, http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Nice. I had no problem, and it wasn't a big deal. People just want to fight I guess, and "pwn" people on the internet. I think I am just feeding the fish though.

 

......if everyone was nice on the internets....lulz would not exist.....

 

I can't argue that.

 

i must say it does amaze me with some of the complete e-thug douchebags on this forum. All high and might on a ****** forum. The worry is the rattle, he said he would deal with the CEL, yet here we are on page 2 with a few jackass know it alls just here to mock instead of helping. If you buy a product advertising something that interested you, then it should work as advertised, i know, the shock an amazement to expect that from a product you paid a few hundred for right? Remember that the next time you buy something that doesnt work how you it was advertised to, and the reason you bought it was because of that claim.

The difference in running an after martket DP or intake as opposed to a tune, is a tune basically a garuntees your warranty be void, a DP or intake does not. Get it yet? Wheres your common sense now?

 

If you are that worried about warranty, don't mod it.

Simple as that.



200 bucks is nothing for mods..."but it took me three weeks working at Paul's Hot Dog Stand to save up that money blah blah blah...."....200 bucks is nothing.

When you alter something, it's going to change. Take certain precautions to make sure it doesn't change in a way you want it to.

Worried about warranty?

Don't get a catless DP if a yellow light telling you the cat isn't there(which you know, because you are the one who put the DP on that has no cats) then clear the code and move on with life.

If you can't handle the code deleting and whatnot keep the stock DP, or add a spark plug defouler to your downpipe...they cost like 4 bucks.

BUT I PAID MONIES FOR IT ZOMG

Bitching doesn't remedy the problem, doing something about it does.

Get it yet?

 

Wow...you guys are somethin else. How about we just drop the arguing and let this thread die or wait for the op to come back and say either the heat shield removal did or didn't work.

 

 

I Get the vib's to so I was going to bend the heatshield

BUT If I can remove it then it will never happin again

Now If I remove it then that will bring engine temps up or is it kinda a wast?

 

Yeah I agree $200 is nothing to spend on mods.but if something is advertised as no codes then it should have no codes.I have dp,cb cp and intercooler and NO CODES and I am sure it is moving more air then stock.You get what you pay for.

 

There is no reason that your DP should be leaking. If it sounds more like a buzzing noise when you are under boost, you are probably just hearing the exhaust note change when the wastegate opens.

If you have any issues, you can send me an email or PM. It's unfortunate that when you start an issue thread you get bombarded with random comments by supporters and haters based on 99% speculation and bias.

 

Yeah I havent had any problems with my zzp dp, maybe you should get some mechanical skills on how to install a dp

 

Haters and supporters? Its unfortunate the thread was turned south by know-it-all people, who want to feel they are superior to everyone else and just want to argue.. Much like the idiotic post above me.

Let me clarify some stuff, I was fine until steddy stepped in, and this whole thread was too. I explained I have had some problems that were annoying to me and that it was probably just the normal LNF sound, as described through personal experience. I should have never even said anything in response, its like feeding the trolls.

I love ZZP, my downpipe and my charge pipe, and I love the prices. I totally expect to deal with problems if encountered, it comes with the territory, duh. I assume that was implied. The products are great and well made, I never dissed or intended to hate ZZP. No matter who makes a product, in this industry a certain percentage of people will have an issue, but the it doesn't really affect the overall product. Some people have to prove a point I guess. I am entitled to bitch if I want and fully justified, but I wasn't bitching, just stating my problem and what I thought.

I would guess the OP is probably hearing the exhaust note Matt described, it does sound unusual and a few of my friends thought it might be an exhaust leak, but its no prob. You would DEFINATLEY know if you and exhaust leak... I would think. If the bolts are tight those flanges should not leak.

 

Perhaps your leaks are user error? Did you not tighten it down all the way? I know the top ones can be a pain in the butt but tightening is key. But if it's a buzzing noise I would think maybe a heat shield is positions strangely down there? Possibly from where the O2 wire is run all crimped up in that one shield..I know that one flaps around a bit if you moved it at all during the install.

 

Idiotic post, hmm maybe the kid who installed it should have done it right in the first place and this would have never happened.

Nobody else has put up a thread of a zzp dp on their 08-10 ss/tc with a leaking problem so that leads me to believe install error.

 

I just called it idiotic because it was pretty rude.. Would you have done it differently in face to face with someone? WELL MAYBE IF YOU INSTALLED IT RIGHT *******.. Things go wrong sometimes, we don't know all the facts, people aren't instantly idiots. How about.. did you install it right? But who am I telling people on the internet to be nice one again, should know better... I just don't know why everyone has an attitude towards every problem. You may very well be correct, but it doesn't make it any less idiotic to me. Not saying you are an idiot, just disagreeing with your style, just like the rest of the problems in this thread.

 

All I'm saying is that there are tons and tons of people out there with the zzp dp that are having no problems at all.

Also him being the first person to post a thread like this he's obviously gonna get some rude comments and feed back from people.

 

Well I put the stock downpipe back on and the buzzing went away. So I guess I know how to install a stock downpipe, but not a ZZP downpipe?

 

I haven't had any problems with mine... it throws the P013E code, but since I know the high flow cat caused it, its no concern to me... I just delete it when it pops up...

for anyone that knows, if I get a Trifecta tune, can Vince eliminate that code?

 

haven't had any problems with mine. i also bought the zzp pcm, witch disables rear o2

 

When I put the ZZP catless DP on I tried to reuse the original gasket for the 3rd time as I had a high flow catted DP on for a few weeks. I had a small leak at the turbo flange until I replaced the gasket. The metal crushes to seal the flange. Might have been your issue.

 

I have a Catless ZZP downpipe and when you let off from being under boost...say 4500-5000 rpm.... It almost sounds like an open exhaust for a second . Must be the wastegate opening cause if i want it to be quiet .... I can baby it around and make it sound almost stock.




I used to get the same code ....P013E . After storing the car for the winter ..... it hasn't came back . I've put at least 1500 miles on it so far this season and no more P013E's to be seen

 

^ you will in warmer weather, I never got it in the winter either... when I say warmer weather, its already been 90+ degrees here

 

Does anyone know the part numbers for the 2 gaskets needed for the downpipe?
