Header Question

Do you guys think, 2.5" downpipe from ZZP combined with Bad-Mad Shorty header would make for a good daily NA setup. Then if I do SC (have the blower setting in my room) It would be enough. Or save up for Vibrant or ZZP LT? Keep in mind I will be NA for a little bit. I have a 2.25 Magnaflow exhaust.

I think it was only cars sold in cali/around cali (from the dealer) that had the SAI (also an 07 no SAI)

I was actually just thinking about this set-up. I think it would be cheaper than 425 for the combo since the header is 189 shipped and the catted dp is 180. Which is 370, but add shipping so I guess its close. Either way it will flow well for S/C in the future and still probably work great for N/A. You may lose some low end due to the shorty style header but you will get a bit more top end.

I think its worth it. The extra money is not probably worth the extra 3-5 hp at the crank.

About $425 for the extra options on the DP.

Our 2.2L version extends slightly further before it goes down toward the collector in order to avoid any clearance issues.
