alright before i make a deposit, i have some questions...
I have a 2.2L Pontiac G5.
Will the 3" exhaust system that is offered for 25% off from ZZP would even fit my 2.2 G5 since it says for LSJ?
Can the 25% off the 3" exhaust system be used instead for the 2.5 exhaust that is an option on the same page on zzp?
That exhaust comes with a cat so i dont need the magnaflow cat offered in the header/dp group buy right?
is there a big difference in quality between the ceramic painted and the high temp painted? is the ceramic worth 100-120 more?
What size DP do you guys recommend for a 2.2? or does it jus depend on whether you have a 2.5 or 3" exhaust.
Which do you prefer Bolt on or weld on?
Sorry guys im kinda new to modding cars and everything and just need a few things cleared up but if you guys could answer my questions theres a good chance ill put my deposit in before the deadline.

Ok, so you've got your recommendations...deposit time!!
You have to go through the checkout process on the ZZP website to the point where it gives you the shipping options. I live in Newfoundland...as far east as I could possibly get and my shipping is going to cost $104 for USPS Priority International...great price for 50 pounds of goods.

You folks are obviously NOT from Canada. Anyone buying online from Canada LOVES USPS. It changes hands to Canada Post at the border who are excellent. UPS/Fedex charge ridiculous brokerage fee's at the border. On this package through UPS I'd get charged probably upwards of $70 or so. USPS/Canada Post will charge me $8

Yes....an advatage for the USPS and Canada Post. They are subsidised by the government and unlike UPS and FedEx, are not required to pay ridiculous brokerage fees. Both UPS and FedEx have been trying for years to make this a level field but to no avail. We don't want to charge these high brokerage fees but the governments in both countries have our hands tied.

The business that UPS/Fedex lose because of these BS fee's would MORE then cover the revenue these fee's are bringing in.
UPS DOES want to collect these fee's. If they were simply "forced" to have to do it, they would have one set fee, not a BS tiered system based on the claimed dollar amount of my package. UPS will charge me say 10% on say a $500 package...but somehow on a $1000 package its 20%...they did an extra 10% of work to warrant that?? I think not. Those numbers are just examples, not the actual %'s, but they aren't far off. I'm a little bitter towards UPS if you couldn't tell.

"I bought an item that was $99.95 US. The Seller charged me $16.00 for UPS standard shipping to Canada.
The package arrived and here is a Brokerage C.O.D. due to UPS for $54.17"
$100 item + $16 + 54.17 = $170.17
BS.
UPS FTL
come on ppl 7 more to the big 24% discount
