Re:Super Sucker



My only experience with the super sucker by Zat was negative. BIG but here though, I bought a Verde with the Super sucker and the fast back cats already installed and Ansa tail section. According to the PO the Super sucker worked great until it was touched by the local (to the PO) alfa mechanic who was trying to make it pass NY state emissions. Apparently they screwed it up and it was definitely down on power. My mechanic (very well known in NJ area) never got it to work right and ended up sourcing a stock one which gave me much better results.

I didnt like the intake sound of it either. I believe the afm was from a Ford originally. When I called Zat up about it they said I should send it back for adjustment as they are set to pass emissions in NY and should not be a problem. As I said, I wasnt impressed with the intake sound and the fact it came from a Ford so I didnt send it back. I understand the BMW derived one is better though.

Again, my experience was after it had been messed with but I wasnt happy with what I was seeing and hearing. Twin cats were nice and the car definitely breathed better by my seat of the pants feel vs. my brothers stock platinum with identical Ansa tail pipe.

Good luck,
Antonio
