So originally i was going to get the XTC Stainless Steel Downpipe without the cat converter. But after talking to some friends who told me if i dont get it with the cat converter then it will sound 'ricey.' And believe me i dont want this....So now im thinking of the DownPIPE with HIGHFLOW CAT from Cobalt Addiction. Does anyone have any opinions on which will sound better/ give more power?

Get the one with the cat. It will sound less raspy and there will be little performance loss.

I don't have a cat and mine sounds fine. No rice sound at all, it is fairly deep like a formula car when you rev it. If you must have the cat I would suggest hahn. The rest all depends on your goals. Hahn is good if you want a shorty header or might go turbo. ZZP is great if you are staying supercharged. I can attest though that the hahn stuff is superior quality. I jack up my car just to admire it and it sounds better if you look up various clips. I have the exhaust not the dp, but I was really impressed by it.

Catless sound is not worth the 2-3 hp you will gain.

Rebel Autoworkx...just look at a picture of it, compared to the others...it looks soooooo much better quality...it's more expensive than the others, but that's what I'm going with.

I don't really know what that is supposed to mean but it made me laugh. Might be because my g/f is 17. Eitherway good or bad it made me smile:lol::lol:
