Best downpipe?

What is the best catless downpipe out there for our car? I have seen ZZP, CIA, and Hahn. Has anyone had any problems with any of them? I have only heard good things so I'm not sure which one is the best.

If you want to spend your money wisely. Go Clear Image automotive

going any other route is not smart at all. CIA has clearly outdone the rest.

Could you pm the condition, mileage, and price of the catless. If you decided to sell it.

looks good but a little pricey. I can get a hahn catless dp and hahn 3in catback for $850 shipped so I'm not sure what do do.

Looks like CIA is running away with it.

That right there is just a BS comment, just so they'll buy from the company that you are working with. There is nothing wrong with any DP out there, I believe the Dejon throws a code, but Synapse and Hahn are both great DP's.

What makes the cia dp so great imo is that you can have a cutout and a cat all in one, with the others you cant.

ZZP is MUCH cheaper(199 for the none catted, $289 for the catted) and that is stainless... not aluminum, CIA is $100 more, their aluminum one is more expensive than ZZP Stainless one

ZZP also has the FASTEST LNF right now, so, I think they know what they are doing, lol
