No fun running stright headers!!!!!!
So i had a weird noise i posed on eariler which sounded like an exhaust leak, and on my way home from visiting my family all of a sudden my car sounded like a monster truck!!
I find a muffler shop in town while setting off car alarms in a 10 mile radius and look and find out that the ZZP Mesh piece between the header and the down pipe totally popped off!
Ive never heard something so loud before in my life, and the reverb in the car was unbelievable! oh well, ill never have to guess what my car would be like running strait heads anymore!

so they're admitting to making a part that can't handle the car it's made for? sounds pretty shitty if you ask me.

I welded on a pipe for the meantime but i feel like i just want to totally start over on my exhaust system. Ill call ZZP as well and see what i can get out of them, hopefully i can get a discount on a new Dp at least!
