I plan to get this one after seeing your vid online. And the ZZP sets off a code and I don't want that.

everybody is going to throw around what they have. do your own research and find one that best suits you, longtube,shorty,midlength. From what i've read the CA V2 header seems great. I've got a gmpp, but have been looking heavily into the CA header. They really make some quality parts.

a header will not throw a code..it shudnt if designed properly..its the downpipe that might due to the high flow cat..a header shud not throw a code..if it does..no good...dude go with the ca header...im down the road from them and trust me..i wudnt throw anything on my car..i did the research too..and it was the best for the power gain

this may sound dumb but where can i look at the JBP vortex header ive tried to look it up on google but no luck that video on you tube got me goin though oh ya that was m-azing so yeah im freekin out i cant decide wat to do i know if i get a shorty header i wont run a cat cause i live in hillbillyville southeastern ohio lol so it wont get checked and weapon r makes a CEL(check engine light) delete it goes in the second 02 port and gives the sensor the right amount of 02 needed to not throw a CEL and if i go with the weapon r or zzp ill do the same id like to run a midlength because longer tubes usually make more power sometimes that is.

I've had the CA v1 on my car since November '06 and I love it. Held up just fine over the past 2 years

$599.99 is an awesome deal shipped.... Do research on this..... They go most places for around $700 shipped!

It not only is a header, but includes a downpipe and high flow cat. It is one of the most complete kits out there. It bolts directly up to any cat back exhaust system (stock or aftermarket) Also it has never gave anyone any issues....

You can go cheap, but you wont have the quality or performance Vibrant offers...
