I should punch you in the head for making 3 threads about the same thing.

While I think the CA is awesome for 2.2/2.4's (I have the CA header/2.5" de-cat downpipe combo on my 2.4SS), I think the CA header's collector is a tad on the small side for a 2.0SS/SC. I'd go with the ZZP cat-less combo if I were you. Rasp FTW suckas!!!!

I want to do those size tires but i'm lowered, and I actually want to switch my springs up for the H&R race for the real low look

.

Just afraid it'll rub. Might look into 235/35/18 or 235/40/17

yea thats the biggest issue i've heard is the noise.. however supposedly the vibrant combo is very loud, but when i heard it on my friends RL it wasn't that loud for me however another resonator would probably give a more mellow tone, people need to start getting in on that damn group buy because i've been itching to get that damn thing and now is my chance

personally i want my exhaust to be a tad louder but not rediculous

Yeah it will be louder than the rest but a little too loud for me, kinda raspy. A resonator should do the trick and make it sound perfect.

Vibrant header dp and cat. Cant complain about the performance and sounds nice. ZZP is solid as well. One of the two should treat you nice.

I agree, thats why i got mine on special. turbotech runs them every once in a while, price for the whole setup is commensurate with the zzp

Psssh.....alignment......lol.

I've had my Sportlines on for over a year now with no alignment and no problems. Also, I roll on 19"s with no recalibrated speedo and no tickets. All that AND its daily driven. 33k in one year.
