the senile J

ok so i know this has probably been asked before but i have a quick question.

what is the HIGHEST QUALITY header and downpipe for a 2.2?

also, what is the BEST SOUNDING header and downpipe for a 2.2?

and lastly, what would be somewhere in the middle in terms of quality and sound?

thanks in advance.

IT HAS been asked. I just wanted to come in here and say that.

As far as highest quality, I don't know. Best sounding really differs...go to youtube and look for clips of different setups...

I myself don't want to spend the money on something like the Vibrant setup, so I will be going with a ZZP midlength header/dp combo. I'm not spending extra on anything, just getting the 1.5" primaries and 2.5" dp bolt in with high flow cat. It'll be $350 plus shipping.

i have heard that JBP sounds the best but I heard it is the worst performance-wise because of the way it is twisted to create the vortex sound or something haha

I hear the Vibrant setup is very nice but not too great sounding. And also I thought i heard something about ZZP having terrible welds and poor products? correct me if i'm wrong

Jbp doesnt loose hp is just shifts the powerband

I heard the SS/SC downpipe is great for our 2.2's... correct me if im wrong?

having installed pretty much every combo of parts (never saw the jbp in person, so won't comment) by far the vibrant is the best quality. Also pretty damn expensive. Sound is subjective, and personally I like the zzp setup.

JBP sounds amazing, my boy John has it, it does not loose power, it helps with torque, basically makes a longtube header but in the space of a regular 4-1 header.

Vibrant sounds good but is loud as F*ck. ZZP... not bad but I dont care for the sound.
You are correct but it still gives minimal gains compared to most aftermarket systems, JBP with the Vortex H/DP combo is about the best I know of.
WRX, I know most of us dont sound like Hondas but still, be special call it a baby Porshe.

the jbp... in person, do you think its raspy at all? or deep?
