i am about to order a bad-mab header for my 06 ss s/c........... whats the pros and cons on this product and is the pacesetter better?
will this bolt directly up to the zzp 3inch dp?

if the zzp downpipe bolts up to the stock header than yes it will.
i have the bad-mab that is going on this wednesday as long as it doesnt snow. its a quality piece and you cant beat the price

i have this header and its great...mine is bolted up to a zzp 2.5 downpipe...and its fast shipping too...i think like 4 days...
the only thing is i would use the stock studs from the stock header to bold up to the downpipe...the ones that came with it i didnt really like how they fit in...

3 inch dp is too big for a m62 on a 2.7. thats what i have and im on 2.5, 3 inch you start loosing back pressure and low end
only time id upgrade to 3 inch exhaust would be on a tvs pushing over 300whp.

that was a gmpp header, 2.5 catless dp, and hahn 3 inch exhaust
now the car has
badmab header ( installing wednesday ) 2.5 catless downpipe and stock catback for now
traded the hahn catback for a brand new gmpp clutch

only comes with bolts to bolt to the downpipe...use your stock ones...
use your stock one if it isent bad or get a new stock one...didnt like the one it came with...same thing as the header to downpipe kind...
i would use a different one...the one that came with it blew out on me...i just used the one that came with my downpipe...
and i used the copper spray...i am not nocking him or anything...just what i had/did use...

Buy Badmab. Great quality and its bolts up to a 3in zzp downpipe, and yes you should go 3in but i would personally stay catted. I dont think that the pacesetter has any real gains, or if it does, its not enough to be worth the pain of having a custom downpipe made.
