Did you get the combo after they upgrades the flange and the bolts?

I like my header/DP combo. I'm Naturally Asperated so I get the smaller primeries for my engine. It really boosted my lower end torque.

What they did was, in March i think, they started shipping stronger bolts and they redesigned the flange so it wouldnt leak.

For the money I think so. I wouldnt just go off my opinion though, seeing that you have a boosted engine and I do not. There may be better options for you.

I think thats one of the best deals for the price 500 bucks a little more or a little less depending on the options that you choose, I would get it. If I did it right thats what I would have gotten lol

I have the ZZP header/dp combo as well and its worked great. I have had it on since last summer and its still leak free. i was fortunate enough to get mine on a group buy and only paid like 375$ for it. that was the deal of a lifetime

Second this. I've had mine for about a year now, no leaks or problems whatsoever.
