Who cares what it looks like. Only time your gonna see it is when your changing your oil, lol. My CA de-cat downpipe has been on since November and still works just fine.

exactly so why pay the 400 bucks when you can pay 290 or less for de cat. so you decide spend the money if you want but not me.

Metal matrix cats, flow better, last longer and are just more hi performance. It's almost like having no cat.

The Random Tech dp is not the same as the CA dp. RT's is a 2.75 stainless with their high flow cat. It's up to you, buy cheap pay twice

I've heard so many bad things about the CA header, that's out...Has ZZP fixed that whistling problem a lot of people were having?

I'd gladly pay the extra money if this one is better quality...and especially if no CEL's would appear...lol

I still gotta stick up for the CA downpipe. Its the best price for performance DP hands down, has top quality, CA has great customer service, and I think a 2.5" dp is more appropriate for our cars, unless you run the new Rebel Autoworkxs M62 supercharger kit or something similar. 2.5" is a great size, as most of the cat-backs for our cars are 2.5" as well.

You get what you pay for. I bought RT parts for my Z28. They are awesome!

Wish I knew about their cobalt line up, seeing my zzp downpipe flex pipe fell off "the welds separated clean off"

So I'm gonn invest into their downpipe & catback
