I have the money to do all this, but I am wanting the best of power/sound from these... I have the OTTP stage kit if that matters...

 

First thing you should ask your self is how far you plan on taking the car, that can narrow down some choices for you.

If you prefer stainless or mild steel.

Need a extra 02 bung for a wideband?

Catted or Catless?

 

i love my vibrant header/dp with high flow cat got a nice sound to it this is what it sounds like with megan muffler.

must be catted... high flow cat, can the bung be plugged if i dont have the wideband asap?

 

u should really invest in a wideband helps alot when tuning and **** also this way when ur driving u can monitor it incase they fail and car runs super lean than u will know and wont keep driving it and blow a motor

 

yes it can be plugged

 

then i want one that has a bung for a wideband in it... I am really just looking for a setup that will give me the most gains and not sound shitty while doing it...

 

power wise for header/dp i would say vibrant/dp from what i seen in the header testing thread and puts out a deep sound not ricer at all and hahn got nice catback or vibrant just imo

 

are there any soundclips of the cti header dp thats not paired with a megan exhaust. I hate the megan exhaust haha

 

I say go with the vibrant header (best mix of quality, cost, and performance) and a Hahn 3" catback. The Hahn catback is THE best sounding Cobalt exhaust PERIOD!

Vid of Hahn Catback: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc06a...eature=related

I have had a GMPP sport catback and I now have the Hahn 3". The Hahn destroys the 2.25" GMPP in sound and performance. The GMPP had an annoying drone at 2000-2500rpms, which is pretty much where you will be 95% of the time.

 

I didn't know they made the Hahn for the SS/SC...

 

they do but its pricey. I guess you gotta pay to play? hahns place is like 25 minutes from me.. id still rather not pay that much haha

 

vibrant exhaust isnt that much and sounds good go to youtube and search vibrant exhaust u will se that sounds nice and deep

Check out www.TurboTechRacing.com the cat backs are on the site

 

So the vibrant setup consists of a header/downpipe combo and then I would buy the Vibrant cat back? That does sound pretty good, any pictures of how the pipe looks coming out of the back? Also anyone know the gains from doing a headerback setup with Vibrant stuff?

 

zzp and clear image have a good header/dp combo as well.

 

what do you guys think of the full CTI setup?

 

you will get a review on the cti dp and catted header shortly jayno20

 

lol ok, I am looking into buying one asap.

 

Most people find the Vibrant 3" catback to be too loud. I have seen a few used ones for sale for this reason. The Hahn exhaust isn't that much more than others and it's definitely worth it. It flows like a **** and has a nice deep, mellow tone without having a nasty cabin drone.

I have heard the welds on CTI stuff aren't the greatest.

 

Do you have the Vibrant header/hahn catback setup? If so I'd like to hear some more sound clips, the only one I could find on youtube of an SS/SC was that one you sent and it was only a flyby. Interior sound clips would be great.

 

I have been considering this setup and would like these vids too if possible by someone?
Thanks!

 

i have the vibrant header/dp combo with high flow cat and 2.5" mandrel bent catback with 18" resonator and magnaflow muffler. Im very happy with both sound and performance.

 

OK!! What does everybody think about 2.5"DP and 3" Catback from Mandrel Bend Exhaust? They are good price and I have seen first hand they sound great! "LOUD"
