Show original supplier description
The ZZP Gen 2 Cruze Stainless Steel Catback Exhaust is ZZPerformance's first bolt-on performance part for the second generation Chevy Cruze. It replaces the restrictive factory exhaust, which uses crush-bent steel and has a diameter under 2 inches, with a system designed for improved flow and tone. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this cat-back exhaust features 2.5-inch mandrel-bent piping for optimal flow. It includes a ZZP 400-cell high-flow catalytic converter and a ZZP muffler, designed to enhance exhaust tone and volume compared to the stock system. The kit comes with 2.5-inch stainless steel clamps and replacement bolts for the mid-pipe to cat-back connection. It also features a dual polished tip design. It retains the factory gaskets. ZZPerformance notes that the hatchback version is specifically for the RS hatchback bumper cutout, and they have not test-fit it on a non-RS bumper. The sedan version is verified to fit both RS and non-RS sedan models. Important compliance notes: The high-flow catalytic converters are EPA certified but do not meet CARB standards. For questions regarding compliance, contact ZZPerformance customer service.
