I pretty much have hahn everything. Intake mani, turbo kit, full exhaust system and i have nothing but the best to say about them. Bill is an endless stream of knowledge and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Not to **** on ZZP on any way shape or form but Hahn has proven to be a great choice for me. No complaints yet and ive been rocking the kit for over a year and a half now.

yea don't get a 3" exhaust on a 2.4L unless you plan on going F/I. 2.5" is plenty.

The ZZP kit is cheaper and better. I'd go with ZZP if I were you.

you guys got to realize that the zzp kit that they sell isnt the same thing that they are runnin 11's on slicks.

Regardless, the potential is there and that is quite impressive.

Actually, the kit they sell is the same thing as what they ran 11's with. Only difference being is they upped the boost, and have valvesprings, along with slicks, of course.

But I agree. Good potential. And is impressive. (: Overall it's a better kit than hahn's.

i say zzp.. hahns stuff is nice.. but they're too expensive zzp costs much less and water / air is much better then air to air when done properly not to mention they have less piping so better boost response

the kit they run in those vids is nothing more then their stg 3 setup with valve springs and some heavy boost (which is why you need the valve springs)

Who told you that? It is in fact an off-the-shelf kit. Of course it is dyno tuned, but any of our customers are welcome to come in for a dyno tune.
