Best Downpipe?

Well I am finally around to getting a downpipe. I have the zzp shorty header so I was just going to go with the zzp downpippe with a h/f cat. Before I purchased it , i decided to read the reviews. Well to my suprise, many people are claiming that when you accelerate it is giving a whistling sound. I DONT WANT THAT. So can I get a list of suggestions for downpipes with a high flow cat????cause I am a little bummed.

i get a whistling sound with my long tube header and no cat, not sure what causes it, but its there at low rpm when i put on the throttle. Crate Engine Depot has the best downpipe and high flow cat for sale and i believe its made by Random Technology, costs over $400 though.

Save yourself some money and get a catless dp. no whistling just louder.

i have a ZZP 3" with hf cat and gmpp manifold. no whistle, except from my blower
ZZP is widely recommended, especially their midlength header / dp combo.

yeah, i think whistling may come from a small leak in the header or downpipe, i still haven't been able to find where mine comes from cause i took the cat out and it still does it. You probably don't have to worry about it if you bolt everything up correctly on the high flow catted downpipe.
