I've been looking at exhaust's the last month or so for sound mod haha The mpx is my choice atm but the FL sounds beast but Idk if beast is what I'm going to want all the time. The mpx it's loud when u want it and the FL is probably harder to keep quite. Also the mpx build looks better, I've read ppl saying the FL will leak after awhile mostly Cuz of clamps tho but yeah.

No do not do that. Use only completely straight through like a dynomax ultraflow, magnaflow or Borla (some Borla mufflers anyway) No baffles chambers or louvers on a turbo car it will kill performance trust me.

Good choice, you will be very happy about that setup, or at least I was, I had Hahn catted DP and street catback when I was on stock turbo and I loved every bit of it

My LSJ buddy has the ZZP 3" kit without resonator on it, I helped him install it and it sounds fantastic. I have heard a couple videos of LNFs with the same kit and they sound just as good, even better with a catless DP.

We lowered the muffler by 1/2" roughly 6 months ago. Anyone since then has not had an issue.

I decided to go with a catted downpipe from ZZP.......I am unsure whether to go with their high flow 200 cell cat or the 400 cell high spun cat.......does anyone have any input on the two? I am thinking the difference is minimal between the two but if anyone has any experience with either it would be much appreciated
Would love to go catless but want to avoid inspection problems
Thanks guys

Higher the CPSI, the higher filtration and the flow restriction. Go with the 400. It's closer to OEM and if you're really worried about inspection, it makes more sense as well to go with this option.

Catted or catless the power difference isn't huge. If u seen the stock dp you wouldn't be worried about which 1 to get haha just the build of the zzp dp is better flow. I got the 400 Cuz I live in CA even tho its not legal it's better then a small cat or no cat lol

Thanks for the input guys......will probably go with the 200 cell. Yea I have seen the stock downpipe......from what I remember it has 2 cats on it and is really crimped in the middle so I am sure even ZZPs catted downpipe will yield some type of gain and flow much better then stock
thanks again guys

Anyone have any input on the MPX catted downpipe. I am def going with their catback and I see they have a package deal for downpipe and catback for $629.99. Was doing some searches last nite and found mostly positive reviews, was just wondering if anyone had any issues with their MPX catted downpipe with fitment, build quality, thrown codes, etc.
Its either MPX or ZZP catted at this point, I have heard great things about Hahns catted DP but its $300
