I have had the ZZP longtube header with catted downpipe for a few years now. While the quality of the pipe and welds is great, the woven flex pipe they use is crap. Up here where roads are salted mine lasted 2 full years before it started to disintegrate.
It doesnt look easily replaceable either because of the otherwise solid construction, so I would have to buy it as one piece with the cat. Now that we dont require inspection in Ontario, I am considering going catless. Where you are it probably wont be as bad, but something to be aware of. |

Not in the OEM exhaust, maybe in the replacement pipes.

In my area I know of 2 one man shops with pipe bending equipment. You might try asking some parts delivery guys if they have seen such stuff. Around here there are 15-20 shops in the backyard that get parts from NAPA, this is a pretty small town.

I should have gotten a picture of the underside while on the lift, Ill be back there soon to get the trans lines replaced, Ill snag one then,,, I don't think anything as far as the exhaust is original , lots of little 2" spacers welded in everywhere so I bet this thing was pieced together as stuff rusted out? maybe the flex pipe is original but as far as everything else, I think its a Frankenstein !
