i believe a few people are running that combo, good set up in opinion, i had good experience when i had my obx header, sold it, and the local who bought it never hasnt had one issue with it so far, and its been a good year and a half now

jaycope

where did u get the obx header and how much was it?

LSJ stock header and downpipe are always a good bang for your buck. $40 header $100 downpipe roughly

Check ebay, they're $225ish.

i actually havent heard too many good things about the obx combo i might go with the zzp combo

If you've got the money, go with the ZZP mid-length...I think it's better than the OBX. OBX isn't bad if you are just trying to get away with one of the cheapest options (aside from LSJ or Pacesetter).

yeah bought off ebay

when i had my obx i got a weird sound, it was the flex peice leaking a very small amount, nice peice imo for the money, i later got a cat welded on there also it sounded 100 times better

$360 gets you a Clear Image header and DP, nice stuff. Its what my LS will get if I need more breathing.

jaycope

Well what is better zzp or clear image combos???

ZZP is a bit cheaper, Ive never seen one to make an opinion. I know their LNF downpipes are nice stuff.

or preston is selling his vibrant setup for 350
i would of picked it up but i wanted to buy something new

jaycope

What's the link to his for sale post maybe I'll buy the vibrant

jonxxxedge1

he dident have it in a post he just offered it to me

Somebody had a for sale thread with a Vibrant for $400. Good deal for second hand.

Maven...the Clear Image stuff for $360...is that catted or no? If catted, then I'd buy that. My limit is about $350. That's why ZZP interests me because I can get a catted DP with the mid-length for that price. Vibrant maybe used is that cheap, and Pacesetter, OBX, etc aren't the same quality so I don't really want them.

I have the OBX-R header and down pipe. Blew the gasket to shreds so now I have to make one with some silicone. Otherwise it's been a nice piece for the price

jonxxxedge1

what gasket?

jaycope

well let him know im interested if he wants to get rid of it. if that doesnt work out i think im gna get the zzp combo for 350 with a cat.

Clear Image for $360 is catless.

If you need a cat converter ZZP is definitely cheaper, but they do use magnaflow cats which are cheaper and notorious for setting P0420s.(I think ZZP even admits this, its not their fault, its Magnaflow) CIA uses metal cats, much more expensive but also a better cat.
