Anyone have the new ZZP header?
 
I see that ZZP finally came out with a shorty header, about time, that will bolt up to the factory piping. Had this been available last year I'd have bought it.

ZZPerformance - Ecotec Shorty Header #ZZ-ECTSHDR

Has anyone bought one of these yet? If so, what are your thoughts on it build quality wise, butt dyno increases, and overall review of it? I might possibly be convinced to swap over if the reviews are good enough:lol:

I have been running shorty header for a long time with zero issues.

andrewcarr1993 Oct 15, 2013 11:18 PM

Well with that out I don't see a reason to go with the BadMab shorty header anymore.

By the time you buy the shorty and the downpipe you can just buy a midlength.....

There's a lot of people who don't buy a complete set up at once though. It's about time ZZP did this. Looks real nice.

Ya I'm planning on doing a ZZP order at the end of the week and am undecided on header, dp or neither.
Currently stage 3 GM SS/SC with the GMPP exhaust. Any suggestions on best bang for the buck?
And where should the O2 bung be for the wideband, header or dp?

As long as it doesn't have warped flanges and can accept the OEM GM style gaskets, I agree. That is why I did not originally go with the badmab

ZZP had a shorty header back in the day, but it was not a very good design.

This one looks much better. Should hurt badmab sales a bit I would imagine.

Priced well, and looks to be good quality.

Looks good. I would pick it up if I was shopping for one.

Tjolley Oct 16, 2013 09:57 AM

Its all about the LT header and 3" catless dp

Bluelightning Oct 16, 2013 10:04 AM

It's all about a built stroker motor and TVS but not everyone can afford it lol

Tjolley Oct 16, 2013 10:16 AM

Lol mine will run this next month

InfraRedline Oct 16, 2013 12:14 PM

I was thinking of picking this header up for my dd/winter RL as I don't wanna put a stock header on a ported head.

Bluelightning Oct 16, 2013 12:53 PM

Winter beater is no longer a winter beater lol

InfraRedline Oct 16, 2013 12:59 PM

I mean....come on :lol:

My parents bought me a ZZP downpipe last year for my Christmas/birthday present (I'm 9 years old) and was holding off buying the Bad Mab header. Looks like I'll be picking this up sometime soon.

Or not everyone wants to put that kind of money into a 4 cyl econobox

boostedgst97 Oct 16, 2013 11:06 PM

what kinda number gain do you get. I have a guy selling one local brand new in the box for 75 obo it was his roommates who left it as partial payment for rent after he sold the car. I already have a midpipe and megan exhaust will i see any difference ?

Bluelightning Oct 16, 2013 11:16 PM

Highly doubt it's this header. It just came out.

andrewcarr1993 Oct 16, 2013 11:23 PM

I highly doubt it's a real ZZP one, probably an eBay nockoff. (Edit:Ninja'd)

You're lucky that you have two RL's :/

boostedgst97 Oct 16, 2013 11:30 PM

he has a box and everything from zzp

They had an old version of a shorty header.
This one they just realized is the new design....
