Hahn Vs Clear Image

How Does The Cia Downpipes And Charge Tubing Compare With The Hahn Downpipes And Charge Tubing. I Know Hahn Is More Expensive , But Does That Mean It's Better?

Both are stated to be good quality, but you know the answer you will get it CI becuase they are cheaper.... Personally I have seen the Hahn and you cant get any better craftsmanship (maybe equal, but not better) Hahns customer service is top notch, they will never leave you in the dust. Not saying the other guys will, but we have no experience....

And Honestly:
No one has ever purchased a Hahn downpipe and a CI downpipe and had them side by side. It is all personal opinions.

I like Clear Image. I got a full set up and I'm happy. Plus, they are located a couple of blocks from my work

So A Hahn Ss Downpipe With High Flow Is $450 Vs Cia Ss Dp High Flow $395, $55 Difference, Not A Big Deal. Then Hahn Cp- $550 With T Bolts, Cia Cp- $350, Now Thats A Big Difference, $200 Freaking Dollars!!! Are U Kidding Me

If Most Are Saying Cia Dp And Cp Are Comparable To Hahn Dp And Cp, I'll Go With Cia And Save $250

If you had that opinion 30 minutes ago, why did you make this thread?

Of all the manufacturers building hi-performance parts in this industry, Hahn is one of the very few I am comfortable endorsing for their workmanship and quality. Just like us, they are an American manufacturer. They use top notch materials and their welding is beautiful just as ours is beautiful. With all the comparisons now being done between us, Clear Image Automotive, and Hahn, we are as flattered as I am sure Hahn is because of the superior quality and workmanship we both offer.

With that being said, we stand behind our products, take care of any issues which might arise, offer a great warranty and try to be as attentive to the members as possible by personally replying to threads on the forums. Beth is one of the best Public Relations specialists in the industry and she's incredible when it comes to taking care of our customers. Also, as many of you already know, she's pretty darn cute too.

As for prices, we have chosen to support this community directly instead of establishing a dealer network. This allows us to offer our products, to the members, for jobber and/or wholesale pricing.

Honestly speaking, the members can't go wrong with products from either company. But Clear Image Automotive does have the lower retail price advantage.

I Didn't Have That Opinion 30 Minutes Ago, I Was Still Waiting To See What People Said And A Few Have Mentioned That Cia Is Just As Good As Hahn, So That's What I Was Waiting To Hear Or Not Hear

I respect your opinion man, but how can you honestly say that noone can be better than Hahn.

REALLY?

I am not refering to any company to compete with them but yes hahn has WONDERFUL work. but i dont think that justifies you saying nothing is better. Just becaues you sell their parts.

I love Hahns products, they are beautiful and i hear nothing but good things from them. If you have the money.

well you are a little late to the party in terms of comparing hahn to CIA...this has already been done to death...there was a thread just a week ago comparing hahn and CIA charge piping...

Not to be rude, but the search engine should be utilized prior to posting...there is a wealth of information already on the forum concerning this topic....
