Best catback

I just picked up a vibrant header and down pipe with cat, looking to add a cat back on it . What cat back exhaust would give me the most hp? Not looking for anything loud.

ZZP 3 chamber, best for the money. You want to spend $200-$300 more, sure get GMPP maybe its better...maybe not

I would not want a chambered muffler on a supercharged car they do not flow very well.

All cat backs are gonna be about the same with gains. You're gonna want something with a resonator and a muffler that's not straight through.

Any exhaust with a full 2.5'' piping will be fine and if you really want you can go for full 3'' piping. Then it's just personal preference for how it sounds. I personally have a ark grip N-II exhaust.

There are very little if any HP gains to be had from any cat back. That said, I have the Hahn and for me it has the perfect balance between being quiet and understated under normal driving yet produces a nice rumble under power.

i'd go with the search button comment but since it's been beaten in already i'll just leave this....

any exhaust added after the header and DP will be louder than stock, so with that said the best sounding cat back on N/A and SC ecotecs IMHO is the GMPP

COMPLETELY incorrect. You want this muffler so your supercharged car doesnt sound like a bag of **** and has at least some back pressure.


You could go straight through muffler than to a ZZP 3 chamber on a 2.5" setup, youll most likely see no difference, if anything more power with the 3 chamber down low in the rpm range, not much though.



LOL ZZP muffler's dont flow well he says.

I've got the ZZP 2.5 with no Res and it is loud as crap! I also have a zzp long tube and no cat... but after WA police kept pulling me over I bought the ZZP resonator and it sounds much better!.. zzp was a perfect fit, shipped fast, and just plain old does its job! You can not go wrong with the 2.5in zzp with Res.
