zzp mid header and downpipe combo

Has anybody bought the header/downpipe combo from zzp? I'm thinking about it but at the same time I'm just reserved. Any suggestions?

What are your future power goals? If you plan on heavy modding, definitely go with Long-Tube. If you plan on sticking with a GM Stage 2/ZZP Stage 3, then Mid-length will do the job.

Either will do the job. Size is what matters when purchased.

I really appreciate the vids. It sounds really good and that's exactly the deeper sound I'm looking for. What gains have you seen from this setup?

I don't have plans to do heavy modding. I have a relatively small budget for mods so right now I'm just focusing on the basics and putting money aside for that. First goal is to just get the exhaust done.

I have the mid pipe and down pipe from ZZP. Still need to mod the heat shield or make a new one to fit.

You really need to tune it. I haven't tuned mine and it sounds/pulls like a crap honda with a fart can. My brother and I are about to start poking around with HPT. Sadly, there are no tunes in the repository for the 2.4 besides stock. If anyone has a starting point for the mid pipes, I'm sure many would be happy.

Its simple, if you plan on staying NA then just get the mid length with 1.5" primaries. If you plan on going SC (which i assume would be your option for more power since its a whole different set up if you plan on going TC) then get the long tube with 1.75" primaries.
