2.4?

V1 CA header...that DP won't work with the Pacesetter and the V2 CA is a 3" exit which is too big

I have a CA v1 header and a XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe, and it works great.

no need for Vs 2...it has a 2.8 in collector which in fact is much better for the ss/sc and we wouldnt gain as much as the older vs which i have..cmon 10whp gain..

One is made by ZZP

One is made by XTC

Both are referred to as a CA dp.

The flex part of the ZZP supposedly breaks.

I've had no problems

Just get the mounts, don't waste your money on the TD too

NEED help!!! i dont like the fact that the paint comes off the CA v1 header.. i wasnt really aware of this till i saw pics recently... thats a downside to me, i may just have to fork out more cash for a stainless one.... wut downpipe matches up well to the pacesetter header?

u need to get the pacesetter dp....dont do pacsetter...honestly bro bite the bullet and get the ca header...ur not going to get a better header for the price of the hp gain.

and what vs 1 and vs2 of there downpipe..there is only one downpipe. like i said..its magnaflow piping, a vibrant cat, so its not zzp...zzp downpipes blow...the flex pipe easily breaks...see that...and thats not a interesting site to see a downpipe hangin on by a thread...
