i just got done looking at all my options and the CI header and downpipe would be more $$ then the vibrant combo and the zzp is only 80 bucks less then the vibrant so looks like ill be spending at least 500 im really wanting the stainless steal one no matter who i go with so what should i get? i plan on getting 1 3/4" primary tubes a catless downpipe and i want a 3'' downpipe with a 2.5 exit since i have a magna flow catback system now i need inputs plz and the vibrant downpipe is only in 2.5 i think

come one 25+ views and no info or inputs

 

Vibrant

 

jbp headers and vibrant dp

 

this is a performance question, it does not go in General, please post in correct section. Moved.

 

sorry didnt know where to post this but after 62 views i figured i would have more input from people then just 2 people i guess at this rate it looks like ill be getting the vibrant

 

If your going to not buy the clear image... atleast get the zzp..

Im pretty sure theres more power out of the zzp than the vibrant... plus it sounds a little nicer.

 

really? from the research ive heard the opposite that the vibrant sounds looks and gives a little more hp thats why i made this thread to help me make a good decision but hell 75 vies later only 2 things have been said and the clear image is was to $$ for me

 

get the jbp headers..and a vibrant 3" dp..itll sound like a ******* beast

 

i dont have the founds to buy a $600 header i still have to get an h/e dual pass plate and my dual intercetors my tax refund was going in to the h/e duall pass and the intercetor and the gauge pod so this header and down pipe are coming out of my saving and i dont want to go broke with it but still want to get a nice one

 

the go with the vibrant..there nice i use to have them untill i got the jbp

 

thanks i think thats what ill do if i can get my dang pay cheek before the 31 and catch the sale that TTR has going on for them

 

The vibrant is only a 2.5" collector and dp right? And it is still $580 + shipping....

If you are on a budget I would check this combo out.

CA sells their V2 header on ebay for $215 shipped.

1.7" primaries and a 3" collector. It is larger then 3"!

And a 3" ZZP dp with 2.5" flange

 

i was thinking about getting a mid length header tho and i really dont need a 3'' collector due to the fact that my hp goal is only 270ish and you only need the 3'' collector if you are making over 300 hp other wise its just over kill a possibly hurting your hp

 

Completely wrong.

Who ever told you that... well... Ask us to clarify something if he tries to explain something to you again...

That is incorrect. A 3" collector is perfect for 270.. honestly i dont think you would get there without it.

 

CI

Vibrant is 2.5 and ZZP flex pipes are crap

 

i already looked at ci and they are way to $$ a dang it vibrant doesnt make a 3" then so then maybe the zz header and down pipe? with 1 3/4" primary tubes a catless downpipe and a 3'' downpipe with a 2.5 exit?

 

Sounds good to me.

 

maybe i should look into it some more then i think they zz is alost a 100 bucks cheaper too anyone have any pictures of a stainless steal zz header and down pipe combo?

 

so you're dead set on 304?

 

yes ^^ it always look new and after a couple 1,000's miles it doesnt look like junk and i personally think it will last longer iven know they both last the same

 

That is bs.

For the price of the Vibrant header/dp you might be able to get a CTI header/dp combo. There just was a recent GB on them. I missed out on the GB but contacted CTI and they gave me almost the same price. PM me for details.

ZZP's midlenght header/dp combo has problems with leaking. The reason is, they use a 2 bolt flange for the header to dp connection. All the other companies use a 3 bolt flange for that connection.

I picked up the CA V2 header and the ZZP 3" catless dp with 2.5" flange for $400 shipped. You can't beat it.

Use the money you save to buy a dual pass endplate or HE.

 

i AM getting both the dual pass endplate and h/e no matter what but like i said im pretty dead set on getting stainless steal and i really would like a mid length header is it true about the 2.5 downpipe being to small? if so then i might have to peace it togeather and where is the CA V2 header sold at?

 

zzp seems to be the best buy to me. but i still dont have it so i couldnt tell you much about it

 

I know for a fact you've seen the threads involving ZZP's flex pipe welds breaking. They always say they've fixed the issue but it still happens, just like the flange leaks.

I still say CIA. It's something that's going to take a lot of abuse from heat, flexing, etc. Don't cut corners and get cheap parts, and the lifetime warranty is pretty awesome.

 

ive never hear of CIA what is it?
