Hahn Racecraft catback?

Is it worth the money? im all stock and want a nice sounding deep toned exhaust...

is the 3in diameter going to hurt performance in any way??
How much is the new price? And where can i get it from? is the quality good? and is it to loud?

or should i go with an ark system?

my mind is set between the two

Too much for stock, I would go w/ the Corsa, if I were you...

People say good things about the ARK, and it's significantly less expensive, if you're set on one of those two...

yea but i think the ark sounds kinda ricey... and i don't really like the look of it...

corsa wayyy to expensive and i heard that they arn't built very well...

so what do you mean by to much for stock?

Im planning on doing extensive mods down the road, but nothing to huge. (2.7 pulley, intake, header/dp, tune, heatexchanger, and ported supercharger)

A 3" would be just fine for those future mods. Regardless of what muffler you put on there, a 3" system is going to be crazy loud, just FYI. It will be deep, like you want, but it will be freakin' loud. I don't have a muffler w/ my custom 3" setup, but I have a larger cat (magnaflow 3") and two resonators inline. I wouldn't say mine is as loud as a Cobra w/ aftermarket exhaust, but it's pretty damn loud when I get into it. There are videos of flyby's w/ the Hahn system.

I've also heard their quality is good, but I've never heard that Corsa had poor quality. It's up to you bro, but the Hahn 3" will be just as much as the Corsa, cause I'm pretty sure you can only buy it from them...

No biggie bro.

You will get drone. I'm planning on buying dynomat to do my trunk sometime soon, and the interior at some point in the future. W/ insolation, it wouldn't be bad at all. You'd get a headache as it is now, on the highway...

depends, the megan cat back is a 2.5" system and it is deep and sounds real nice. the gmpp isn't to bad either defnitely the tamest of all cobalt exhausts. Having a 3" exhaust in Nebraska isn't really a good idea it would attract alot(Too much) attention IMO.

haha yea your right it would get ALOT of attention.... good and bad

i just don't really like the look of the megan... i had one of there exhausts on my old civic and it was a really nice system... it just looks funny to me. I can't get any good pics of exhausts!

what do you all think about the dezod 2.75 exhaust??

thats a pretty good exhaust, I thought about getting it. really its about keeping the flow good on your car and not overdueing it.

Yea i heard some bad stuff about it though.... so it's kinda making me nervous

Borla and GMPP are one and the same. 2.25" and a decent upgrade for someone who wants to stay stock.

Dezod is a decent choice for your future mods, I haven't really heard much about them though, good or bad. Keep this thread going and maybe some other people with first-hand experience can fill you in on the other products...

I Love my GMPP Exhaust, quality is great, sound is great, and some great gains, 12whp on a stock car! It was noticable on the but dyno. My Top 3 are

1. Magnaflow (good price, great sound, great qaulity)
2. GMPP (Great Price, good sound, great qaulity)
3. Corsa Touring (Geat quality, great sound, a bit pricy)

Borlas, Corsa, GMPP, Magnaflow. I have heard all of them in person and they were all pretty nice sounding.
