ZZP 2.5 Exhaust Review

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!



I started off with a Badmab Header and then a few weeks later black friday came around and I order a 2.5 catted downpipe... but if I got on it right before and around 4k it was rasp and rattly sounding so I decided to get the the 2.5 cat back this past black friday and man It's the best!


Pros:
Easy install -except having to cut the stock exhaust off (sparks everywhere)
Great deep sound tone only minimal drone

Cons:
Had to bend the rear hangers after noticing my bumper was melting a bit from the tip lol


To me sound is a big deal and I was sorta worried that this would be too loud but no I love how bassy it sounds. So anyone worried about sound this to me is highly recommended

I have to agree with this... I have the same exhaust on my SS/SC and I love it. Best sounding I've heard out of all the exhaust options.

Dude...mine burnt a legit crazy hold in my bumper. It was stupid. The hole isn't there anymore because I added a lip to it but still...its sorta burning the lip now so I'm going to have to bend the hangers as well.

but yes it sounds legit. Badmab with a zzp catless downpipe and sc. No rasp at all lol

I also got their catback on BF ..2.5 in. It sounds amazing i have a badmab with zzp 3in catted DP with the 2.5 flange.

Car sounds mean as all hell, the scream of the m62 and the bark of the exhaust is just music to my ears.

As far as fitment goes, mine is a tad off centered at the tip but no burning, i can fit a finger In between the tip and the lip all the way around

I can back up and agree with everything stated above, the exhaust is cheap for a quality SS system, fits great, and SOUNDS AWESOME! Not loud at all when your just crusing around, but step on it and it really opens up.

I had a magnaflow catback and traded it for this (the drone was horrible with the magnaflow), absolutely the best choice I made with my car.

Only downside I had, which was also mentioned above, was the hangers at the very back (right by the tip) are a little low on the pipe, and thus it sits high (almost touching the bumper). Mine's like 1/4" off, and now that you mention it, I need to go double check if its starting to melt so I can bend them a bit if it needs it

Mine fits perfectly, it equal distance from the sides of the lip and the bottom of the bumper. I think the whole hangar thing is a 50/50 chance at getting them correctly the first time
