I agree. I mean I went with the ZZP downpipe and I'm 100% satisfied with it. Great piece!
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.

you've just posted in the LNF forum, in an LNF headpipe specific thread, asking (LNF owners) for a reccomended replacement headpipe to go with your LE5 shorty header?

The exhaust system is after the valves so I don't see how it's possible for this to happen.

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.

The problem with this question, is that "most" people with a catless dp will have an aftermarket tune and say they havent thrown the cel for X miles. Well of course they haven't. After market tunes take away that issue.

It's hard to say everyone is different. You will get a CEL the question is when 100 miles or 25,000 miles.

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.

Both catless ss/tc's in MN i know with gmstage 1 and stock threw a CEL. Its random.

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.

Seems as though quite a few people have had fitment issues with the OTTP one and I have heard of a couple fitment issues with the ZZP one aswell.
