Just curious, how many people running a zzp downpipe actually use a solid motor mount/ trans mount, or both? I know zzp requires 1 or more if using their dp. I had planned on getting a solid engine mount regardless, but I was just curious to see if anyone actually had any problems.

 

im wondering this too. cuz i have a set of solid tranny mounts and i was gonan sell them but if we actually need them for the downpipe then ill have to put them on

 

Yeah, zzp says the flex section wont be warrantied if not used in combination with a mount, i just havent heard of anyone having problems not using one

 

^yeah i wouldnt want it to break lol

 

interested also!

 

someone needs to buy it and find out lol

 

well if you guys need a solid mount top mount i got one for sale

 

I run a zzp tranny mount with mine, and I can understand why they would say what they do, the engine doesn't move like it did before, I could see a flex section not being able to handle that much engine movement.

 

how are the vibes with the zzp mount?

 

ZZP downpipes are waranted for 2 years and it doesn't matter what mounts you use or if you have changed them. Our DPs work in any config.

 

I use solid tranny mounts!! I like the way they feel.

 

umm the vibes are bearable.... except if you try to let out the clutch slow in first gear just trying to get going, then the whole passanger side of my car shakes like ur in one of those big ol' trucks with a granny gear trying to start out...
But past that I like it, U feel more "in tune" with the car, in my opinion... the rattling sux though

 

I didn't use any mounts w/ my midlength header/dp combo.

 

I had fitment issues with my zzp dp, the two bolt flange was welded on at an angle so it wouldnt bolt up properly

 

My dp was a little off to, comes too close to that side of the car and pressed into my heat shield, i had to beat up my heatshield to get it away from it, but it got rid of the crazy sound i kept hearing from it whenever I would get on it, it did bolt up ok though, but I thought like stock it would center out in the area for it, but it didn't.
So yeah someone messed something up along the way which made fitment kind of jacked... but mine at least bolted up ok

 

DP is holding up well so far and have had multiple track runs as well. DP bolted up easy to my stock header and exhaust. Once i switched to the badmab it was just as easy. Got the ZZP front and Rear trans mount which eliminated all my wheel hop with minimal to no vibration.

Would just invest in both, i could definately tell a major difference.

 

Mine just laid against the exhaust tunnel, I couldnt even tighten it up all the way. So its pretty much useless to me. I want a DP that fits like stock, just bigger. Is that to much to ask?

 

so the downpipes are warranted even if you dont have any aftermarket mounts?

 

can you just use the ingalls damper?

 

I have the TTR Stop Transmission mounts. Vibes arent all that bad but I have little to no wheel hop ATM.
