Default ZZP HV3 Insert

Got around to putting the HV3 insert from ZZP in my car today, very simple since I did this same one on Buick Regal, took it out of the Regal and put and M90 SC on it, and not put it on my car

about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish, and the car was at temp when we started so you can imagine how fun reaching into little spaces and pulling nuts and studs out lol

The ground was wet when I left so I couldn't hit it without spinnin the tires, but it made my exhaust sound a lot meaner and louder in the higher RPMs, best $160 I spent to slide a rubber piece in the upper intake and get more power and growl

Always nice to hear about aftermarket parts and how they do. Thanks Frank!

Even new its not a bad deal for $200, but they are pretty easy to find new, just look out for warped ones

1.5 hours to pull a fuel rail and upper... c'mon Frank. How many beers did you drink?

Don't look at me..I pulled exhaust manifolds off after a 45 min drive.

haha well I forgot to mention I had to modify my stock gasket beacuse the one from ZZP had a busted up coolant O ring so I spent some time with a dremel getting rid of the little clips that hold that tube that does who knows what on
