i have to agree with this hands down.

i've been running the c/a header, xtc 2.5 dp w/ cat, and the gmpp sport exhaust for 30k miles (2 years) plus hand tuned by probably one of the best tuners on this site.

i have had not one problem (minus the p0420 code that gets thrown when you upgrade h/d/e) and none of the flex piping has ripped or anything (which i've heard happen to the zzp combo's... not ******* them, just saying)

and he's right... probably the best power for money ratio

 

I'm not trying to thread jack or anything, but it makes more sense for me to ask this question in an existing thread rather than start a new one.

I was looking into the Vibrant Header and Dp combo with high flow for my car. I've got the Magnaflow catback already and I was wondering; I've seen some other threads where people have breifly talked about Vibrant. Maybe that can be cleared up here...Is Vibrant worth the money and are there a lot of problems with it? I have seen about half and half. Someone please help me on this..

I would tell you to check out Vibrant but I want this cleared up first before I do say so....I have also heard good things about clear image.

 

What's the costs of the Vibrant, ZZP, Clear Image, Pace-Setter, and C-A? Or just kind of like ranges.. I know some stuff is alot more than other..

 

Pacesetter is the cheapest by a longshot.

 

Still good..? Available in a version with the dp and cat too?

 

dude get the c/a header and downpipe..trust me on this.

 

Pacesetter is the cheapest, but you have to get a downpipe made(you cant buy one, well not one thats any good anyway.

CA is priced about the same as ZZP and CIA but its a shorty.(questions of this companies quality control arise on a regular basis)

ZZP is very popular, and their header is well made and nicely priced, there have been issues with the quality of their downpipe(unsure if resolved) and they use Maganflow cats(known to set P0420)

Clear Image(CIA) makes 2 mid length headers, is priced about the same as ZZP and has an excellemnt reputation for high quality parts and customer service. Their downpipe with a cat appears to be very expensive but they use metallic core catalysts that arent prone to setting codes like most others.(they will build with cheaper magnaflow cat if asked)

Vibrant: high qualtiy product, most expensive by a large margin. This is because they offer a full stainless steel header/downpipe assembly with a metallic core cat. worth the money. NOT available in smaller primary sizes as CIA/ZZP are.
