I just canceled my C/A header cause they are taking way to long to ship it.

I want to know about the long tube headers such as vibrant and zzp. Does anybody have one of those and if not what other header would be good for a non forced inducted LS automatic. The zzp comes with the downpipe as well and it's like 300 bucks but that's a little cheap for a header and downpipe.

Also should I go 2.5" or 3" with a weld in with the downpipe. I'm getting custom 2.5" tubing from the downpipe/header (depending on if i get just a header or both) all the way back to the muffler.

I was thinking this:

1 3/4" primaries, 3" downpipe (no cat), 2.5" custom tubing all the way back to the muffler.

Whatcha think?

 

you have a 2.2 just go 2.5in piping on everything

 

Ok but whats a good header. I need opinions here.

 

ive seen the vibrant header and downpipe on my buddies ss/sc and the welds and everything looks like some real quality work as far as the zzp havent seen it but ive heard good and bad things about their welds

 

the vibrant stuff is nice but if you are n/a then it is a little over kill. I asked the same question not to long ago and was told to look at clear image stuff. they are a more expensive but you get good quality.

 

^^ heard very good things about them

 

Thanks man, yeah so now i'm stuck between zzp and vibrant. zzzzz all i know if that vibrant is more expensive but i've read a lot of good reviews on them. And btw does anybody know the measurements of vibrants primaries/collector/and downpipe. Haven't been able to find anything on that.

 

buy my ZZP header/DP. ceramic coated, stainless steel, catted, extra o2 bung for a wideband, $375+shipping. (it costs $556+shipping new for the options i have on it)

 

Will a clear image header and dp fit on my car?

well it's settled im buying the CIA header and dp combo tri-y and catless. may sound like **** but it opens it up

 

I would get a high flow cat.

 

clear image

 

nah to expensive and im going to england anyways lol

 

I am a little rusty on this but I think the Primes are 1.75" and Since it is a 4-2-1 you dont have a single merge collector like the 4-1 although I believe the 2-1 collector on the vibrant is 3". Also the Header is a long tube design which replaces the header with a shorter 3" tube.

 

vibrant is 2.5 collector and 2.5 downpipe

 

Ahh, I warned that I was rusty about the Vibrant info.

 

just clarifying since i was staring at one 2 days ago haha

 

thank you

i still appreciate your effort <3

 

I try. Lol.

 

Regardless the primaries are still too big..

 

So would I be correct if I said vibrant hdr/dp would be more along the lines of force induction rather than non-force induction?

 

Correct-O-Mondo!

Maybe the 2.4L, but definitely not the 2.2L though.

 

ok awesome because i would have dreaded having to purchase that beast

how lonf did CIA say you head and dp would take to process and ship?

 

I have the zzp on mine and love the gains and they have been great and quick in their customer service to me!

 

What's the JET stage II do exactly?
