Whoops. Maybe that's not of the ZZP header

 

in the end the zzp cant hurt

 

zzp midlength is you best bet for the headers ive seen. id rather a true long tube, but i havent seen any results from any. just watever you do dont bother with a shorty, i have one on my car ( bought the car with it) with 3" exaust and its got no torque whatsoever.

 

so 3in dp with 2.5 exit sound cool?

 

look into the clear image header its a pretty nice peice. ive been running it now for about a year and love it.

 

I suggest a Pacesetter with custom down pipe. I have a Pacesetter 1 3/4" w/ 3" collector, and a custom down pipe w/ 3" catless exhaust. I love it, sounds great and makes awesome power.

 

and how much did that run you?

 

VIBRANT all the way

 

i think the header is 189 coated or in that ball park, and then whatever your dp cost to make.

 

so what would u do lsj

 

Depends on how much you want to spend and what your ultimate goals are with the car. If you want more power 3" is the way to go for the dp, if you want the most power overall a longtube header will give you the best numbers followed by a mid length then a shorty.

 

i would do the zzp......but if u think the pacesetter with the dp would be just as good or the same then i would get that.....im looking for 10-15 hp thats my goal haha

 

have a vibrant and i like it

pacesetter w/ custom downpipe

 

I've got the magnaflow cat-back and the xtc catless downpipe. Both of them being 2.5, I plan on getting the new cobalt addiction version 2 header. I think it has 1.7 primaries and a 2.8 collector. Hopefully that header will work nice with my set-up.

 

not really feeling the vibrant.......i think its between zzp and pacesetter with custom dp

 

tagged for when I have money...

 

Atleast you have some common sense. Some people waste 600+ dollars for a header that will gain maybe 1 hp more then a pacesetter or a ZZP that's half the price.

 

haha yea

 

would the CTI header be the best way 2 go if u have the money? will a 3" exhaust help or hurt?

 

if you dont have over stage 2 it would hurt

 

how about above stage 2................... like say 2.8 pulley or smaller and ported head

 

i would talk to the pros on this forum like lsj..anomolous etc....but i would says a 2.7 would need 3''

 

I believe yes it is, When you run a 3" you are going to lose so low end tq but you will make it up in the top end. I would say if you plan on running close to 300 whp get it if not get a 2.5 inch catback, cti will custom make the dp for you so that you can run a 2.5.

 

if i was staying with 2.5 exhasut then would the vibrant 4-2-1 header be a better choice.......with the cat gutted..........
