im new to this forum and had a question... im looking to get a header and down pipe for the 2.0 LSJ and having a hard time deciding which is the best combo for cheap, can anyone help? im looking also to get stage 3 from ZZP next year with the 2.8" pulley which requires a downpipe and header. thanks

 

Best bang for the buck is a Bad Mab header with 3" ZZP downpipe. And you don't require a header and downpipe on a 2.8" pulley.

 

alright thanks ill check that out

 

long tube headers any good?

 

i would suggest a different exhaust or upgraded resonating chamber with that setup or it will be raspy.

 

I would recommend the long tube header if you have the cash to spend on it.

 

I have a friend with a bad Mab header, catted ZZP downpipe and stock catback. The car almost sounds stock. Maybe a little louder.

 

i've had good experience with my zzp midlength combo. my buddy had a zzp 3" downpipe and a hahn header and i had noticably more torque

 

I have the full vibrant exhaust on stage 3, love it

 

I would recommend looking into the zzp mid-length combo over the bad-mab set up. Its a little more but zzp quality is top notch. Even though bad-mab has is cheaper the flanges on the header are hit or miss.

 

Vibrant header and downpipe combo!

 

do the zzp longtube combo. yea its around 600 but works great and is a thing of beauty. probably some of the best gains. sounds good too, check out my writeup.

im running a zzp long tube catless dp and zzp 3" exhaust it sounds amazing..very loud but mad huge gains over the other exhaust.


i would recomend to get a zzp long tube with a catted dp and a zzp 2.5" cat back exhaust. that should sound good and not be to loud. but u will get good percprmamce with the s3. zzps quality is very good. and they know how far to push the tune wen u get ur zzp s3..

 

zzp mid length and dp combo, just installed mine and i love the setup. noticeable gains. =-)
