It won't be to loud if your still running the stock setup after the d/p. Resonator and all that still right?

I have the 1st generation on my 2.4. Just installed it. Honestly, it sounded like ass without a cat. And the idle was off too. GMPP Performance catback with mine. But good luck. Worst case: get a cat thrown on. Now that I did, it's better than before. Still loud, maybe a tad more so. But it's aggressive now instead of deep and droney.

you will still have a busted flex and/or go through several header-to-downpipe gaskets with this choice

I have the ZZP header dp, with a cat tho, and a corsa touring catback. When my car is cold, warming up, it sounds like complete ****, but when its warmed up it sounds amazing.

nothing but happiness for my ZZP products and transactions. The biggest reason ZZP has a bad rep. is because Zoomer's social interactions here show an extreme lack of business ethic

i've had my zzp combo on for ages i bought it in their first group buy back in 07 .... so far i havent had any issues aside from 1 busted gasket but that was because some how the bolts got supertighted and bent the washers and screwed things up .. that got fixed and it's been fine sense...

zoomer might be a jerk at times... however the rest of the guys are good people.. .and ive never had an issue with getting help. customer service from them.. they're one of the few companies that compare their pieces to other companies so they can make better products are they the BEST company.. i wouldnt say that but .. they have great welds and address problems as well as are always trying to do new things for us ..

went thru hell with them, they sent out the wrong set first. they sent a setup for an automatic, after another week i got the header/dp without the extra bung i ordered. I like it but i should have gotten something else for the money i paid for them.
