I just got the ZZP Mid Length Header and DP from ZZP, Thinking about installing it on my own... can't be that hard right?

anyway, i've been searching for like an hour and can't seem to find a How To, for the install. Can anyone who's better at searching link it to me... or let me know any problems they ran into?

Currently I have a 3" hahn Catback if that helps.

no its not hard, just a bit time consuming and a few of the header bolts are a pain in the ass.

also did you get the new version with the 3 bolt flange or the old style with the 2 bolt flange?

 

you talking about the end of the DP? or where the header connects to the DP?

Header to DP is a vband connection

 

ya where the header connects to the DP

 

its a vband

 

gotcha, then ya they changed it. i've tempted to get mine modified away from the 2 bolt flange because all it does is warp and leak

 

they just changed it in april

 

Thanks for the quick posts guys and thanks for the how to!

as far as what I got... looks like I got the vband: here is what I got in the mail today.



and the downpipe as a two bolt flange were it connects to to the exhaust

 

same exact thing as i got (i have 1.5" primaries and 2.5" DP cause im 2.2)

an air wrench works well to break the nuts loose...all of mine were reuseable after 45k miles

and that coating will burn off

 

ya i'll just cut mine and weld on a new flange, because i'm getting really tired having to redo that flange every few months

 

hmm...mine has been fine so far. i used the soft gasket that was included

could just cut and weld and skip the flange

 

ya i got the gasket as well as gasket sealant which worked fine for a lot longer then just the gasket. i got to do something because its getting annoying

 

it makes noise?

 

Speaking of the coating... I was thinking about wrapping the header, but I was worried about it rusting... I live in Denver so durring the winters we've got de icer all over the place. Do you think the coating will hold up better with wrap?

 

ya giant exhaust leak noise lol

 

theres a sticker on the face of the header that says some info about the coating...forgot what it says

i live in minnesota so we just get as bad...ill probably wrap my header too and spray it with the sealer stuff

my coating burnt off

 

Brand name of sealer? And can it be picked up at the local auto shop?

 

DEI - same place that makes header wrap

yes its at auto shops
