Here is an honest educated answer.

The company does good work. However they had their group buy and sub-contracted part of the work out to other people. The other people had horrible welds and the primaries touched causing rattling noises.

Your going to get a ton of people hate on this header because their head is shoved so far up next person on the band wagon's ass that they won't see true factual data.

Pre-group headers are awesome. 100%meth ran one with good results, I have a local buddy who has one with good results and I have one on my boosted 2.2L.

These headers are good to about 300-320hp, after that they are restrictive. Also they are a BITCH to install.

So with that being said hopefully before 4 million forum members hump each others legs and give high fives... The sound of them is sexy

That's probably the best explanation you'll get. IMO, if you're not buying this used for next to nothing... get a long tube header haha. Nothing you buy will ever sound like this though =\

People bought these because they are equal lenght tubes.
I've heard nothing but negative things about the company's ethics.
They claim to be in Toronto, Canada but anyone who's bought from them says the item was shipped from the USA and they were nailed with customs/taxes/duty fees.

I love my ZZP Long-Tube. Only 4-2-1 headers out there (I know of) are Vibarnet and PPE.

x2. If they were equal length they wouldn't sound like a scooby doo im pretzel.

I have these on my base model and I have noticed a huge loss in low end but the top end gain was worth it. I also installed a 3"cti DP at the same time and have a 2.5" Tsudo which was on prior to the H/DP. With the exhaust and intake resignator removed I dropped from a 16.5 to a 15.9. I can not justify saying the header is bad for power considering a DP that is too large and a cat back could give me that kind of gain.
