Header and Downpipe

I am thinking of purchasing the GM header and the xtc downpipe with highflow cat for the car i am just wondering if anyone knows what this will do performance wise. I know it will help but i am just wondering if anyone has any specifics. also am wondering if the sound of the car will change that much i have a corsa axel back on.

I have a ported stock manifold and the XTC catless DP, sounds great. Where are you in SFL?

Ehh, thats kinda far then, I'm in north Miami. Ever come down this way, let me know. I can also set you up with a ported stock header for much cheaper than the GMPP unit.

I would recomend the ZZP midlength header/dp combo. But stick with 2.5 unless you want lots of noice, lol.

I have the 3" and it's not bad on noise a tiny bit louder then stock.. but then again i kept the cat

http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa204/unknowngod430/

that has some vids of my car with the zzp header/dp combo.. 1.75 primaries and the 3" dp with 2.5 " bolt in as well as the high flow cat.. and there are two on there from me completely stock as well (the 0-55 and 0-60) ones i don't think it sounds much different then stock

i owned the gmpp header and i wasn't satisfied with it. its pretty heavy and slightly less restictive than the stock. i heard the ca one is good and i think thats what i'm gonna put on the ss/tc

I just put on a vibrant header and dp and absolutely love it, I couldn't believe the difference driving the car. I was skeptical before but damn. This thing is awesome and pretty easy to install too.

?? you're not going to be able to use a header on the ss/tc unless you modify it to accept a turbo and maybe a wastegate setup not to mention clearance..

IMO midlength on this car is awesome
