Several Downpipe questions
So I plan on buying my next mod soon, which is going to be a ZZP DP, I'm an 06 SS/SC, mods are in my sig (GMSII and a ZZP CAI for the lazy ones.) and I had a few questions
1. I plan on having this bolted onto my car to the stock header, and stock exhaust, but plan on getting a hanh exhaust down the road, what sizes should I get? also plan on it being a 3inDP unless someone has info on 2.5 being better
2. Since I have no engine mounts is the flexpipe really at that big of a risk of flexing and breaking? I don't NLS My car seeing as its an SC, and I rarely track it
3. My next mod would probably be the TTR engine mount thing, would that be enough to protect the DP from snapping?
4. If I don't click the add front and back gaskets drop down will I need to supply my own?
And finally...I think...does anyone have a vid of an SC with a 3inDP catted, and stock exhaust? or know if the sound difference is huge?
EDIT: Also, I was planning on doing this myself, but my friend said cats have..compression bolts? or something like that, and its not just a bolt off and bolt on type of deal?

2)the flex pipe will not be affected...
3)ttr engine mount will help you but, it is not needed seening how there is no real way ur downpipe can "snap"
4)it is always a good idea to replace the gaskets as exhaust leaks are easy to come by...
5) it will be quiet, but have a different tune to it, kinda throaty

1) it will work with the stock header and exhaust and with the hahn exhaust, the zzp 3in down pipe is one of your best options avaliable, go with it...

Just the 3inch weld in it starts at, or a different? also theres a disclaimer for the flexpipe not being warrentied with no mounts, I think it happened to that guy who runs 13.6's with his StageII and intaked SC, Uwlz cobalt or something haha
