ZZP Header Questions?

**ActionJackson1985** · 11-04-2009

So i've been reading off an on from different sources, some people saying I need a pre-bent transmission dipstick, others saying shorter dogbones for the ZZP headers to fit on install. Can some people with ZZP Headers give me some insite. Thanks

no one has headers from zzp? I only thought you needed shorter dogbones if your car was dropped? Is that true?

I've been told of an install nearby me. Don't need shorter dogbones. You will need to jack the motor VERY far forward to drop the rear header in place though. Almost far enough for the front head to contact the radiator. Obviously you'll want to unbolt your motor mounts under the motor and tranny for this maneuver.

I know there is more than one set of ZZP headers out there on your cars guys, any other experiences/opinions on zzp headers at all?

Don't need to unbolt the motor mounts or tranny mounts.

I've never installed them but they can't be worse than pacesetters. I don't know what shorter dogbones would do for you on zzp headers, if anything shorter dogbones on a headered car brings the dp closer to the firewall or more likely to hit the firewall. You should be able to just drop the rear header in between the brake booster and rear valve cover and rotate it into final position. You don't need an 02 extension either with zzp headers.
