i had problems with the zip s-pipe even without a sc. i got an s-pipe from them that didn't have enough clearance at all. sent that back, got a new one and it still didn't fit. my muffler place ended up cutting the thing to adjust it and then having the weld it back together. they said that it might be because of the CC catback i had. for this tc i'm getting the CC s-pipe to with the exhaust. really hope that it's just a problem with the zpi pipe and others will still work with the sc.

The ZPI S-pipe has always had fitment issues . I had one that didn't fit at all . The bends were all wrong and the pipe was too short. Zpi dosen't even make the pipes themselves. They are made by Buschur Racing. They specialize in DSM's. I used to get almost all of my Turbo Eclipse parts from them. The CC S-pipe fits perfect even with the Alphawerks header and supercharger. If you're gonna do it.....................do it right the first time .

we had fitment issues with some of the very first S-pipes. We have since redesigned it with no issues thus far....

As far as fitment with the S/C I am not sure...We will test fit one on our S/C car and see what we can come up with for you. We may need to make a diffrent one for the S/C car.

Im interested in seeing if this is an issue with the supercharger. The supercharger is one of my planned future mods, so if the s pipe doesnt fit with it, im going to have to wait for the new one to come out to purchase it.

I think the only 2 s pipes on the market are the zpi and the cc. The zpi s pipe has an o2 sensor bung that i can see in the pic on their website, but I cant see a place for an 02 sensor on the CC s pipe. Someone tell me if im wrong.

My vote goes to CC. It fit perfectly when I was N/A, and it still fits perfectly with my supercharger and alphawerks header.

Megan Racing also makes a stainless steel S-pipe for under $150.

The Megan pipe is only 2.25" in diameter.

Get the CC pipe.
