Okay, so I've probably made this thread before at some point, but I'm going to make it again because I have some questions and need some help.

Background:
I have a 2007 2.4L SS/NA auto. All I have on it is a K&N SRI, and a Tsudo cat-back (which I love, btw). As of right now, I really just want a cool sounding exhaust. Power isn't my primary goal.

ZZP header/dp combo
I like the fact that it's mid-length, but I don't like the fact that they have to go together. In case I don't pass emission testing, I will have to swap out both parts for the stock ones to pass inspection, rather than just the dp. I would like to know how it sounds with the Tsudo exhaust, but I know a lot of people are satisfied with the sound.

Clear Image header/dp combo
This seems like the way to go, since it's probably the best quality. The problem is it's a couple hundred more than I would like to be spending on something like this. And I have no idea how it would sound with the Tsudo, so if anyone has any videos that would be greatly appreciated.

Shorty header with separate dp w/ high flow cat
This might be the way to go, but I'm not sure how different the shorty header would be from the mid-length. What I mean is, would I like the mid-length better? From what I hear mid-length gives a deeper sound, and a shorty header is all high-end gains. I would rather have gains on the lower end of the spectrum.

Basically, I love my Tsudo exhaust, and the way it sounds, and I want to enhance it with the purchase of a header and downpipe with a high flow cat. Which choice seems the best to you, based on all the concerns I listed from each of them?

 

I had the tsudo exhaust with the clearimage header/downpipe and it was too loud for my taste so I sold the tsudo and put the stock exhaust back on and i'm going to weld on a dynomax super turbo real soon. I will say though it wasnt raspy at all which was good just a tad too loud for me, but you may luv it.

 

shorty is low end gain

 

i have a Cobalt Addiction V1 header, XTC dp w/ cat and gmpp sport cat-back and i've gotten nothing but good remarks for how it sounds.

 

any videos?

 

Im in the same situation as you. I would have purchased the zzp combo by now but they are not making the 1.5" primary anymore and 1.75" is too big IMO. So then I decided clear image but they are asking 665 shipped and olivecj paid under $500 shipped to CANADA for the same set-up soo....idk what to do

 

I have the vibrant header/dp and exhaust and i love it!!

 

looking into a header my self checked out the OBX unit looks like a stainless product mid length no cat set up witch works for me is there any one on here that has had this product ?

 

Do not buy obx products man because you will have fitment issues.
