Thread: Header install question almost done!

Pics or it didnt happen.

Comin!

Here ya go fellas!

I took a really quick vid, I have a super nice video camera with an actual mic ill do on a better day but hope you get the picture!





Heh the left over pile, is it bad that I didnt put the front motorhoist back in? I felt like it just fills space but if its needed ill put it back in...



And here is the video clip
ZZP Headers installed on Pontiac Grand Prix preview - YouTube

ah <doggy poo> "The Wife!" lol good job man. congrats. the stalling is prob the fuel trims trying to relearn. did you pull the battery during the install to reset the trims? with the diff amount of flow and new location of the O2 sensor the trims could have changed a bit.

the stock manifolds dont look restrictive at all...i swear all the header hype is in the downpipe size and that's it.

lmfao "okay im done cause theres the wife" thats funny. car sounds extremly nice man good job

Good job best it was worth the hassle after its all said and done

Stock manifold doesn't look restrictive? You must not have ever seen one up close

seen plenty up close. even had a ported set.

I cant attest to what Bio is sayin he knows way more then me, but I sure do feel a difference, the note is very noticeable from the engine bay the ZZP headers seems to less restrictive then the manifolds I wish I took a side by side picture but they are not goin anywhere!

I will pull the negative and reset the trims. I am looking for a local tuner. Not sure if I can wait for Will.

So im getting so pretty good vibrations while stopped at a light. Im assuming its my dog bone mounts as when I tried to flip them they got pretty thrashed.

My question is should I get the shortened dogbones while im at it im doin a ZZP order.

This is what im thinking...

Might do my subframe bushings as well but I was hoping to not have to crawl under there just so soon. Any other ideas of whats causing the vibrations?

You can just flip your motors mounts or go with Polys. My suggestion is to avoid ZZP 2 piece design and go with Intenses instead. I had noises and huge clanks with ZZPs. Changed them out for Intense and boom all is well. I would use cradle spacers instead of shorter dogbones.

When you say "cradle spacers" is that the same as motor and trans mount spacers? Like the ones from Vinnie?

Does anyone else have a say in ZZP vs Intense dogbone mounts? And what about the shortened dog bones? Not doggin ya Redcomp just want to learn of other opinions, ive already got the Intense mounts in the basket!

Yes the same one that vinnie sells

Good thing I got a set! What do you think about replacing my stock motor and trans mounts to polys?

I just stuck with hydraulic replacement (or solid if you can find some that's actually solid) when i changed mine. I didn't want any vibration and with just the uppers being poly I didn't have any movement.

Any recommendations on where to find Solid mount? I would like to keep the ride as smooth as possible.

I know guys were mentioning napa but their 'solid' mounts are sometimes hydraulic so a lot of guys will drill into them to verify if they're solid or not and then fill them themselves. There's a write up floating around here somewhere let me see if I can find it

HOW TO: Solid Mounts
