About vibrant I heard good things about them but not to many people have them, badmab was great but now I've been reading people are having problem with this header, I say just don't get DC header but I would say get ZZP there products are great

I have a vibrant header/downpipe... love it. It is one of the more expensive ones, but its full stainless steel and I've had no problems with the piece.

I've had a badmab and zzp downpipe for like 2 months with no problems and works great but if you have the money for a zzp then that's they way to go. They have great products.

Vibrant Review

I watched a few videos on youtube which dont give the real life experience but it seems loud as hell and has a completely different note to it. The problem is the cat-back exhuast, the header and downpipe sound amazing but I dont want some raspy rice burner I like deep sound and most exhaust with this set up sound bad but what kind of catback do you have is it all vibrant the whole way back? Please provide your honest opinion about this set up. Thanks

Same here but not powdercoated. Got some header wrap and they work great! Not bad for $170

Deciding

At this point im really liking either the zzp long tube with 2.5 downpipe to go with my DC SPORTS exhaust but then I wish I bought the Magnaflow exhaust which is the best with zzp and I also like the Vibrant header/Dp but im not getting much feedback on it and want to know more about the vibrant Im leaning toward the zzp though.
