It only flows 30CFM over stock.

Not worth it when you look at the prices of others.

ZZP + a 2.5 inch catback if you're staying S2 or 3 inch if you're going aftermarket stage FTW

not worth it, I ran it in the beginning when i had all GMPP stuff and I felt no gains whatsoever. A dealer shouldn't void your warranty with an aftermarket header, they probably won't even notice.

The dealer will void your warranty for anything. My buddy blew his motor in his SS/SC and the dealer said it was because of the after market intake... If you are worried about the warranty just stay stock manifold until your warranty is up, then get something else.

go aftermarket. not worth the money. for any warranty problems, tell the dealer to prove and put in writing why the header caused the problem.

It isn't worth it. If you are worried about you warrenty then wait and dont waste you money cause your not going to be satisfied with it. Go after market. I have ZZP header and DP combo and love it.

not worth it, 30cfm isn't much for that much money.

I havent decided between the tri-Y or the 4-1 yet. I need to research which would be better if I went TVS in the future. But I am either going with Clear Image or CTI.

my two cents....

I believe Dan said 4-1 gives more top end, try-i gives a bit more low/mid, but you'd have to ask him.

I also second the CIA one. Mine sounds so much better than any other LSJ I've ridden in.

I have it, i love it..

Im selling mine now that its off the car... its the 4-1 non tri-y.

dainslaif im pretty sure your right about the better low end..

But long tube headers have better low end than the gmpp or another shorty header...

I installed the GMMP Extruded Honed manifold, on my stage 2......I notice a distinct difference in power delivery... much quicker and smoother.
