All You Need to Know About Downpipes
#151
I just didn't get Hahn's because of the price pretty much. I'm also stock exhaust otherwise.
So I saw if you have Hahn stuff already I'd just stick with that.

just have a quick question about downpipes.
i have always been told that not having a cat in your exhaust will eventually premature failure in the exhuast valves. i have been told this by some very credible people and it really makes me wanted to get a DP with a cat. however i really like the sound of the catless. any answers?

Hahn needs to learn that charging people over $400 for a peice of 3" pipe with two flanges on it is wrong.

Tell me I'm not the only one, but I just installed my ZZP Catless and we had to pull my exhaust in about 3/4 inch even though it looked longer than the stock one. So now you can barely see my exhaust tip! Kinda upset about that.

Wow ZZP is having the same problem as OTTP it seems. I'm going to be taking my DP off taking it to an exhaust shop and having them add 1/2" to it, we shall see how that goes.

I just installed a modern performance catted dp, sounds good and feels like there is a little more power on the lower end. I say dp is a must have if you own a SS.

they all will give you the same pretty much. All are 3". You just need to find which one you like. all catless will act the same besides their bungs. So if you tune it it really doesnt matter what bung as the tune can turn off the o2 error. If you run stock tune or gmstage 1 id say get a catted dp with a bung (angled) so you have less of a chance to throw a cel.

So im thinking about getting the ZZP catted DP. But whats this about it possible not fitting correctly and making the exhaust tip not show. Anyone have any experience with this?

they fit, but some seem to be shorter than stock so the tip doesnt poke out. Also could be adjustments with the hangers. My hahn has no issue, cant speak for the other brands.
