its loud and its raspy...with a header its louder and "raspier"

the reason for this is:

1) eliminates the cat

2) eliminates the resonator

resonator: keeps sound down a little, gets rid of vibrations(Rasp)

cat: catalytic converter...muffles alot of sound

so you dont have these two..you dont have anything to stop the sound

and for the price: 500 bux its kinda expensive seeing as how its a muffler/tip/piping

im not rocking stock header. you can see it on my profile.

its only a lil raspy when cold but when its warm'd up , its all gone. ive had magnaflow before on my other cars and i expected it to have a deep sound.

before you start buying resonators/glass packs, listen to it first then go from there.

if you are buying the ZPi , i highly suggest picking it up from them because shipping is a bizwaxk

I ordered their midpipe and waited for like a month. Just keep bugging them with emails and they'll ship it out, lol. Their shipping time is a pain but you'll be glad you waited for it.
