ZZP has some nice stuff! Sucks that the OEM parts are so fragile.

This has been a problem from way back in the day. As everyone said just get aftermarket and be happy. I've had my ZZP downpipe for like five years now and it's still going strong.

failll..... lol brought it in today which mean it will get replaced with an oem one. for now it will have to do. come spring i'll change it out before it happens again. i just think its ridiculous that a stupid piece like should even break in the first place.
