3" downpipe opinions please

Hey guys, i know there are threads talking about it and all. i just want to get some personal opinions. I have trifecta 23psi tune, 3" catted dp, ic piping, intake, and no resonator, 14" magnaflow muffler. I like the sound but would like a bit more. is it going to get extremely louder if i go catless? It seems to sound good all cars i have heard that are catless. Thanks for the help!

Catless will be a bit more loud compared to catted... Check out the Turbo XS downpipes on www.TurboTechRacing.com BEST quality out there IMHO.

You have a nice tune and a full bolts-on. Just one thing, don't choose a DP just according to what's cheap, choose it according to what's better.

Honestly, they are all about the same. They are all stainless 3" downpipes. I got the Bad Mab myself. Very quality piece, amazing price and super fast shipping.

People seem to love the ZZP and the TurboXS looks to be pretty choice as well.

Thanks everyone for your help! i just wanted to make sure that my car will be in no way raspy sounding. i want it to be a lil louder but just as long as it keeps a good tone like it has. It seems everyone loves their catless dp's. I have a zzp catted dp and couldnt be more pleased with the quality but they all for the most part seem pretty good IMO

I love my ZZP cat-less DP with my ZZP cat-back. It's got a great tone when I get on gas but if I'm idling or just cruising around, it's not bad at all. No drone and no rasp. Just make sure you don't have to pass inspection or anything if you're going cat-less.

I love my ZZP catless D pipe. It gives the engine just the right tone. IMO the stock exhaust with my D pipe is a perfect sound!

cool i appreciate it! and yea i dont have to pass inspection...i have a good friend that does inspections that doesnt care what i do haha. but yea i have the stock 2.5" catback with No resonator and a 14' magnaflow muffler so its a lil louder than stock exhaust but im sure it will sound good from what everyone is saying! and i have a zzp catted dp currently. im very impressed by all of zzp's quality parts
