get a 3" DP the 2.5 will not yield any gains. you will need the off road pipe and the cat separate because on the 95/96 rivs the cat is connected to the DP. on the GTP and 97+ rivs there is a flange that bolts to the cat which makes their install easy. yours must be welded in.
you will also need a different collector/dp gasket than the one they sell b/c ours is different. i just reused mine and it sealed pretty well.
i also used just 3" pipe in place of the cat, but FL has no emission testing.

Not to hi-jack the thread but can you weld the 3in DP to a stock cat on a 96?

no, there is not enough clearance. you could cut out the cat, move it down and weld it up to the dp, adding in a small 3" pipe in between.
but in stock form the DP will not fit with enough room to weld right.

neither, any car will run fine w/out a cat, but it will not pass emissions. the weird part is, mine rarely ever shows a code for no cat. when/if it does i just clear it and its gone for a long time. i guess the 96's were not as sensitive to rear 02's or else my car is just weird and it runs the same emissions w/out a cat.
but you can get a sin or pcm tune to make sure the ses light stays off.

PostSubject: anyone tried a ZZ Performance downpipe on a 95 Riv?   FAQ: Down Pipe Questions (Series I SC) EmptySat Apr 12, 2008 12:26 am

I am thinking about adding a ZZP DP to my 1995 Riv as well as a 2.5 inch pulley and supporting mods. Has anyone tried a ZZP DP on this application? I am considering the 3 inch shorty or the 3 inch bolt-on w/cat. Will the bolt-on with cat fit right up to my existing stock cat back system or are there other mods necessary?

Since I got my stimulus check, that's probably what i'm about to do. I emailed zzp earlier about their bonneville dp and they said they would have to check on our application. When I find out if it will fit, i'll let you know if you're still in question.

I just ordered my downpipe, I went with the 3" shorty, going to do a cat delete. Anyways, sorry for the delayed response, it took zzp a while to respond in between emails.

I'll post my questions followed by their answers.

Q: Is this the same application as the hogan bonneville
dp? Because i'm driving a 97 Riviera, and the hogan dp will fit
my car, I just need to know if yours would fit it as well. Thanks.

A: there are a few different downpipes for Bonneville. I'll check on
your application.

A: I cant guarantee it for sure without having a Riviera here.


Q: What about the shorty?

A: The shorty should work but you'd have to weld it in.



From my understanding, 97+ Rivieras have a flange on the cat, and the zzp shorty has a flange as well which bolts right up to the cat with no welding. 95/96 I'm pretty sure have to be welded in because the cat converter is welded to the downpipe? I'm not 100% on that. The bolt on only applies to the 97+. You could just do what i'm doing, buy the 3" shorty and run straight pipe in place of the cat, then use a reducer to step the 3" pipe down to 2 1/4" pipe and weld into your stock catback. Those are my plans anyways, yours would probably be a little easier, 3" shorty, or a 3" offroad (same as the shorty just longer to replace the cat) and then weld into your 3" catback from there.

Shouldn't be too bad then maybe you could post the legnths/bends when you do it, might be handy for other wanting to run custom exhaust.
