i really want to get the zzp combo with the headers and downpipe...
but i was wondering how much power are you really going to gain with the downpipe??
should i just go the cheaper route and just get headers or is there a big horsepower gain with the downpipe??

 

The downpipe is the worst piece in the exhaust. It is insanly restrictive.

 

so you are saying that the downpipe is worth the money...
should i go with the zzp combo then??

 

there's a group buy for the zzp going on right now. 25% off. orders start dec. 1st

 

that zzp combo is far and away the best bang for the buck header+downpipe combo the cobalt community has ever seen IMO.
ZZP claims gains of between 15-40hp depending on your mods.
it wouldnt surprise me if a stage 2 cobalt could see 30BHP from just that header/dp combo.


our stock downpipe is a disgusting piece of exhaust work. anyone who has seen one up close and personal off the car will know what i mean.

 

sorry their have some questions regarding a 2.2 if you get the zzp header is their any modification needed for it to fit a 2.2 and is it the best one out their ? is the zzp downpipe better than the cobalt-addiction downpipe ?

i already have the zzp downpipe and didnt notice much difference, but maybe if i add the header, how much power can i see gained from a zzp header?

 

keep in mind were talkin about the midlength header/downpipe setup.


How in the world can you put the zzp downpipe on and not feel the difference?!?
did you get a 2.5 with cat or something?

 

at least 5-10 whp per piece... so 20 in total!

 

umm yeah 3" with cat and 2.5" bolt on

 

if i go with the combo, what downpipe would you recomend for a ss/na??
2.5 w/ cat??

 

Yeah, 2.5". Anything bigger will be overkill on a n/a 4-cyl.

Whether you get a cat or not is up to you. I run a cat-less CA downpipe myself.

 

I had a GMPP intake, exhaust and tune then installed the header and downpipe from ZZP and noticed a minor difference. I guarantee you a stage 2 with intake will DEFINITELY have a smile on his face if he were to purchase this.

 

i had a 2.5 zzp dp, and i hated it...takes way to fukin long to heat up and sounds like ****

i think im goin ported header, 3 in. or 2.5. catless d/p and gmpp exhaust..best gains im my opinion

 

please explain

 

with the cat in the zzp, u have to wait for it to heat up, bt if its not hitt then it soudns liek fukin total rice for liek 5 min, horrible nad i hated it..took it off the car immediatly and with never go catted again

 

I was thinkin about the zzp combo, but I have to get the dp w/cat or I wont pass emissions...yay. I guess maybe it's not worth it then

 

screw emmisions lol move to FLORIDA!!

 

That's weird, from a cold start I have to hit the gas 2 times and the rice is gone. And new cars don't have to pass emissions until 3 years after the model year. With a new header/downpipe/cat or whatever you will still pass emissions, your car isn't running any richer so it won't spit out more gas so you don't have to worry. But your CEL is guaranteed to come on because its running too lean.

 

West Palm is filled with awesome cars and beautiful exhaust systems. i would move there except for the heat!

did you get the magnaflow cat?

 

i got the high flow cat with the d/p, but noticed no difference, so im either gunna get rid of the cat on the stocl d/p or buy a 3 in catless one from cobalt addiction

 

wont the catless make it sound even riceyer?

 

most exhaust do sound worse when they're cold. that's the way it is doesn't mean it's a pos.

yes it will.

 

yes it will sound alittle riceier...but i will get the most gains, and if u have the right setup it will sound pretty good...and that setup is proven to sound pretty good, so thats my route
