Down pipe and full exhaust or straight pipe
What I want to know what are the performance and sound pros and cons of a catless downpipe and full exhaust compared to just a straight pipe from the turbo back with no cats, resonator, or muffler?

I have the hahn catless DP anh Hahn 3" catback, sounds great and with a tune you wills ee some gains. Not sure about a straight pipe all the way back, have heard of many of people doing a straight pipe from the DP back

I would get a true cat back with a catless DP to keep the noise down. If you race at the track, get a cutout on the DP, and only open it there. A 3" exhaust will give about the same power as a straight pipe, without the obnoxious noise.

the cats will keep it quiet? str8 pipe= no cats........... you can go to any exhaust shop and they can cut your muffler off and weld in a pipe, i believe this thread is referring to catless downpipe, and muffler delete.........granted i still have a resonator but there's nothing else i got my muffler delete for 70 bucks
