I think ZZP offers you $50 credit towards something. So I would assume around there.

Also the overall length was shorter than the stock DP by 1/2 inch :/
When I had the old DP sitting next to the new one on the shop floor theflange was identical and they were the same length. That one must have slipped past QC. Glad to hear you got it installed with minimal hassle.

It made a big difference in the idle, throttle response and shifting on mine. I am quite happy with the difference.

yup yup i bought new flange bolts for it just to be on the safe side

It made a big difference in the idle, throttle response and shifting on mine. I am quite happy with the difference.
just drove it for 30 minutes and the exhaust did get a little louder, sounds nice
it still has the stock resonator and mufflers :p
i will be goin to get my resonator deleted and tips installed tomorrow

i took some video with the resonator and mufflers disconnect and it sounds BADASS at idle

might consider straight pipe

oh and i just got home from the scrapyard and got $115 for my cat!!! i couldnt believe it :p
