I have the CA/XTC setup and it works great. And for the price, I'd certanly reccomend it.

CA header is the best for our cars IMO. I dont know about the XTC DP cause Im still stock there, but I know the CA header is nice

no complaints on my CA 3" Header/downpipe w/cat. Althought it ticks when cold but I think it is a leak because I reused the stock gaskets.

Dosen't Hahn have a 3" collector? If so, thats a bit overkill for a 2.4. If it is in fact smaller, then I agree, the Hahn header looks sick. However, i'd never in a million years pay that much for a header. Their header alone cost more than my header AND downpipe, lol. Hahn= paying for the name. Granted, its a good brand, but the price is too steep.

If I were to do it all over again, i'd def get the ZZP midlength header/downpipe combo. But back when I did my full exhaus, they only had the ZZP shorty header/downpipe combo, which is essentially just like the CA header/XTC downpipe combo. Midlength headers are sick b/c you get the benefits of both a shorty and a long tube header. Midlength headers have the best hp/tq curves by far IMO. Nice even power delivery with no waiting for power and no power drop off.

Someday I may switch to the ZZP midlength setup, but for now my CA/XTC setup is fine. Plus, I dont have $500 to blow on something I already have essentially. (I know the setup is $369.00, but i'd also add the other $150 worth of options like ceramic coatings and the stainless downpipe).
