MPx or Hahn

Thinking about buying some parts in near future. Im thinking MPx exhaust and MPx Downpipe w/ cat. But im seeing all Hahn parts on the same website for more money. Worth trusting Hahn or go with MPx parts.

Never heard anything bad about Hahn. So you can't go wrong if you end up going with them . Good luck on whatever your decision may be tho.

Just get the MPx and you can always swap mufflers for the price differenct. They both are 3" just maybe resonator and mufflers and dif.

Hahn operates on the marketing ploy that, "more expensive must mean it's better." If you are planning on lowering your car, the MPx is apparently the way to go anyway because the Hahn exhaust will rub against the rear. I would just go with the MPx. It looks like a good setup.

If you are going to lower your car get the MPx. It is designed specifically for lowered vehicles. If you get the Hahn and then lower your car it will knock against the rear axle.

Thank you guys for the support.

First off, let me stress that MP carries both the Hahn exhaust and the new MPx exhaust that we just introduced.

Both are great exhausts, and the very first exhaust we carried was the Hahn. It was a great exhaust for us, was perhaps a little too quiet for our tastes, and when our project car was lowered it clanked against the rear axle.

So, we designed the MPx to give additional clearance over the axle and have a slightly louder tone than the Hahn(but NO DRONE!).

Either way your going to have a top notch quality, stainless steel exhaust, but if you prefer a really quiet exhaust we recommend the Hahn. If you want a more sporty tone and more clearance for lowering springs then we recommend the MPx.

MPx catback looks awsome to me. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I did not already have a 3" catback.

dude you have a SC the exhaust you got is smaller diameter. The TC has a 3" and the hahn does bang.

Which springs? Almost everyone I know who has Hahn's exhaust and is lowered more than 1 inch in the back has issues with the torsion beam hitting the pipe when hitting any bumps in the road.

hmm the hahn SC is also a 3" never mind. maybe the shocks in back make a difference, but almost 99% of the tc owners Ive seen with lowering springs and a 3" hahn exhaust say it hits.
