I am planning on upgrading my exhaust system, I will be replacing everything header DP and cat back. Wanted to get some opinions on here on what would be the best combination header DP and cat-back. Im looking for a nice deep tone and decent performance. I dont want it to sound like a ricer and am looking to spend any where in the neighborhood of $1000.00- $1200.00. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

 

I have the ZZP Long Tube header/ Catted Downpipe comb (Stock after that) and that got me from 232 up to 239 whp. I love it Only thing to look out for is that the put one of the O2 Bungs in a place where the sensor could not fit, so lucky I had a shop do the install he could plug it and put in a new bung.

I like my setup. Sounds good and decent gains. JBP header, ZZP catted downpipe, and ZZP 3" Catback with resonator.

I've got the zzp midlength header and downpipe with cat and a Megan catback. 3" dp to 2.5". My experience is that it's loud (too loud for me) and a decent sound, but a bit raspy for my liking. Maybe not the best set up out there, but just giving my two cents.

 

can't go wrong with zzp's longtubes and their catback

 

We suggest looking at the Vibrant header and downpipe combo we offer. High quality!

 

bad mab header, idk which dp but you can buy my zzp 2.5" catted if you want (pm me if you do) and best recomendation is corsa touring or gmpp touring. def. youtube corsa

 

Corsa is another sweet choice, we would agree.

 

the vibrant header is beautiful

 

High quality, and never 1 issue with over 200 units that we have sold over the last ~5 years...

It still is a very popular seller.

We dont recommend the vibrant exhaust, only because it is loud, if you like this, then it is a perfect exhaust. However Corsa Touring and Magnaflow both sound so nice and deep.

 

Here's a clip of my exhaust....

I def like the sound of your system, nice deep raspy tone is what Im looking for and that souds good. How much was your system total?

 

ive got a clear image automotive 4-1 header and currently my own home built exhaust. unfortunately the crap they use on the roads in winter has taken its toll on the aluminized tubing over 3 winters, and i need to put an cat in for emissions inspection. im going to order the clear image catted downpipe, im just debating on their 2 1/2" cat-back. they use magnaflow resonator and muffler, i cant see it sounding much different than the magnaflow cat-back.

 

[QUOTE=cobalt blue;6274115]I got the whole setup for $900 Canadian. If you were paying new for everything, it is a little more. I was lucky to get some black friday deals and found the cat back and the header locally.

 

I was thinking of the 3" zzp catback as well...

 

I think Im gonna go with the vibrant header and DP combo with the magnaflow cat back from Turbo Tech.

 

id suggest zzp longtube catted. as for catbacks id say corsa, gmpp sport, agency power, or ark.

 

which header do you recommend?

 

i purchased the vibrant header and dp installed it and 6 months later my dp flange that connects to the cat back cracked >:[ i went with zzp long tube header and 3" dp 3" with resonater delete catback and it sounds great deep and loud

 

So the 3" zzp sounds nice and deep without res??

 

A 1/2" stainless flange cracked?

I would like to see an actual photo of this, plus vibrant would warranty this no problem if it was true...

 

yea, i wanted to do straight 3" all the way back and got the muffler delete pipe also but its just wayyyyyy too loud and i know i would get pulled over so i got the muffler pipe and its perfect

 

Corsa (sport) sounds extremely aggressive but it will unfortunately cost more $
