yeah going catless may cause a code, but some guys get lucky and it doesn't throw a code, and Modern Performance makes a pretty nice exhaust

going catless will throw a code eventually and your choices are mpx hahn zzp megan racing and i know im missing one or two companies lol

and keeping your powertrain warranty and modding the car is a crapshoot....some dealers care some done im lucky mine doesnt lol

if you get a catless DP from zzp they have a O2 defouler to help with the possibility of a CEL coming on.


if your trying to retain your warranty,im sure your not tuned or maybe your GMS1. a Cat-back exhaust really is worth the money to power ratio...

catless DP+muffler delete on the stock cat back=legit but sort of loud

Don't do a muffler delete, It's obnoxious. I roll my eyes every time some douche comes cruising by when his car sounds as loud as a regular car at WOT. You will probably like it for about two weeks, then it will get annoying with the drone.

That is just my opinion keep in mind. You will get more sound going from the stock 2.5 inch to the 3 as well.

muffler delete sounds good IMO. i bought my exhaust used from my buddy. he had his turbo back Hahn exhaust on for i think 2 summers and then the beginning of last summer he cut the big ass hahn muffler off and put a high flow in and i think it sounds great. it is a hair on the loud side but at WOT it sounds amazing. the stock hahn muffler was too quiet or atleast my friend though so lol
