2.5 ZZP exhaust+Badmab header!

Hi!

So I decided to go with the ZZP 2.5 cat back exhaust system and the badmab shory header.
Now do I need to get an aftermarket Down pipe or I can stick to the stock one?

Whats your opinion about the combo?


Thx!

It'll work but you're going open-restricted-open. I'd find a do eventually

Downpipe is actually the MOST restrictive part stock, there is a crush in them around the O2 sensor and the catalytic converter doesn't help things. If you are gonna do the header anyway you should do the exhaust. I'd recommend a ported stock manifold and a good downpipe if nothing else, won't be much more money than just the header and would work much better.

I hear iffy things about badmab you should just get a zzp shorty header and dp package but I'd recommend the long tubes for our car
