i personally like my zzp but everyone is just going to say what they have... tho i do wish a had the CA stainless header instead of mine...

1.5" primary's and a 2.5" DP is plenty for a NA 2.2

as for the cat follow your state or provincial laws and play it safe.

Back when i had my balt, i have the vibrant header & dp with hi flow cat, i LOVED the gain i got from it. I got it as a "one unit only" sale, but i loved it. If i ever end up with another balt, thats the header i will go with again.

Yes sir! that second pic is with is installed on my car. There were no fitment issues what so ever, and it comes with all the gaskets and everything you need.

I even wrote up a how-to on installing it.

ask some vendors and see if anyone makes anything

i know clear image at one point was going to see what they could do, just needed a header to use as a model...that was a yr or so ago though.
also, i think there is a how to on here about how to delete sai

Vibrant makes top of the line stuff, awesome quality. I have one on my ss/sc and I'm happy with it. All stainless steel.
