Catbacks on these don't make too much power, if your looking for power, getting a downpipe is the way to go. As far as catbacks, I have the Hahn 3", and I love it. It is one of the quieter exhausts which is what I was going for, it fit nice, looks nice, and sounds nice. Now that I have my downpipe I really love it, I am still catted, and at idle and normal driving the car sounds almost stock, except for some extra gargles and pops, but when I get on it, its a fair amount louder but I think its perfect. The only thing I can say is there was a little rubbing on my torsion bar, which I fixed, but I'm sure will come back when I lower it. The new MPX exhaust looks really nice, and it was designed for a lowered car, so I feel if I didn't get the Hahn, thats the direction I would have gone.

^ yup.

I personally think the mpx sounds the best and since it was designed to not bump the torsion beam on lowered and stock its awesome. Cuda009 in MN has a hahn on his and holy crap it bangs a lot and its crazy annoying; he is lowered on eibach springs.

mpx cat back is also cheaper!

The only problem with the Hahn catback is that annoying problem with banging on the rear axle when lowered. I had an exhaust shop modify mine to raise it up over that hump, problem gone.
