    I'm looking at the ZZP and TOG headers, I like them both, but im afraid of losing torque with the ZZP headers because the primaries are so huge. I found out that 3800performance still sells the TOG's and they are looking pretty good, anyone have opinions on what I should get?

    it doesnt matter if you lose torque, all you have to do is drop a pulley and it magically comes back.

    i found my TOG's brand new on craigslist. i got em for $400....i typed "the other guys headers" into google and it brought me to washington DC craigslist. i emailed the kid and he was willing to ship. all i had to buy was the ZZP DP. search the club gp classifieds as they have more members on there than we do. i have no complaints from my TOG's

    TDC did...but then I helped Reptile install them and they were a piece of cake...took about an hour or so to get some totally sealed and the car started. Took about 2 HOURS to get the Pacesetter's OFF. Besides...I still love my Pacesetter's and getting past the couple leaks that they had I loved the price

    When you look at the price of TOGs plus a DP, I don't see why you don't just get the ZZP headers.

    Except that ZZP's headers are actually really good. I've seen the fitment first hand, and the quality of welds is better than any other headers for the 3800.

    I have. The set I saw a couple weeks ago (and was purchased only a week before that) were perfect. Looked just like the picture on ZZP's site. I'll post up pics of my set just to show. I'll have them early next month.
