Who has the ZZP catback exhaust?

[puckdud]

Just ordered mine today, super pumped for it to come to complete my exhaust.

Quick question... When I ordered my downpipe and midpipe thru ZZP, they took much longer to ship out than stated on the site. I understand that they custom make the dp and mp, but will the catback take just as long?

Or... will it ship out in 1-2 days like stated and get to me in like a week?

what were your experiences?

I have the ZZP Catback with no muffler and no second cat, it sounds fantastic. I always get compliments on the sound.
If I recall correctly, it only took about a week to get to my house. :banana:

Ordered the catback with HF Cat and Muff on Thursday last week... supposed to be here wed (Per UPS).

I live in MI and ZZP is in MI too. I ordered the midpipe and catback and I received in 2-3 days. maybe it was just a fluke on the DP and MP?

I've got the entire turboback, bought in separate transactions, and they all arrived to MN within a week.

The catback is so easy to do it's almost entry level.

cat back was at my door 4 days after i placed my order

I live in Michigan as well. Was like 3-4 business days. I was quite impressed with build quality and sound.

I have mine in the car.. literally, in the back seat/trunk as I need to get it over on a lift to install it. It took only 2 -3 days to arrive and I'm in the northeast. I'm happy to hear it's easy to install. I haven't been under a car in years.

 

[X_gamble_X]

it's super easy. it's all just bolt on. I think it comes with a gasket which is nice to replace as well. Just be mindful as one of my pipes were banging into the under body after this was installed. I had to lift it back up and adjust so just make sure you check clearance

The only tricky part is a downpipe if you get one.

Can I order a muffler from ZZP and replace the just pipe I have on mine with no muffler?

If I get the cat-back without second cat or muffler will I throw codes? Also will I pass OBD emissions in AZ in 3 years?

Yes. I did this about a year ago. They charged me $160 shipped. Call or email them.

That said, the muffler seems to be rusting around the center section of the body, low grade stainless, perhaps.

UPDATE:
Just installed the catback last night (UPS delivered it at 7pm... lame) and HOLY SH*T

I had exhausts on both of my old GTI's, my WRX and my silverado (lol) but this little sonic makes some effing NOISE.

I couldnt be happier with the fitment, ease of install, or sound. Sound clip coming soon.

After using the ZZPfor some time I'm kinda tempted to replace the muffler with a straight through Magnaflow that I have laying around. Not a fan of the chambered sound, but I just fear that it would be too loud.

Mine took three days for the cat back version (high flow cat, and muffler).

When installing it, I used car ramps to back up on and that was enough room.

My car had a resonator after the cat, and it is HUGH/heavy. Chevy used a single pipe from the res to the muffler that bends over the rear axle.. You will have to cut this pipe (I used a Dremel with reinforced cut off wheel.. my saws all is out helping a friend). It's too long to fish out of there unless you drop the axle.. Unless your doing lowered springs at the same time, this would be allot of extra work.

After you install it, your going to want to "work it" a little before tightening up everything... making sure there is clearance all around. The end will stick out about three inches.. it's not level with the stock cut out on the bumper, and it wont be perfectly square in the cut out either.

You could pay a little extra for a pro install, and ask them to flush it in. They should also extend the mount tabs/rods for the mid pipe or highflow cat, as they are 1/2 inch too short (but work, they just pull on the rubber isolators a little).

It sounds great, and fellow car nuts/wanna be racers will get all excited when you encounter them on the road.. Had a GTI almost blow his motor at a traffic light, trying to impress me. I just gave him the "Please..." look, and went on my Sonic Awesomeness way.
