Vibrant Catback, if you like loud and awesome sounding this is the one to get. But it is LOUD

Whats that 14.4 at 94?

 

they all sound like complete ****

 

vibrant

 

Vibrant catback is the way to go... Love mine

 

I was gonna go with zzp's full 3inch for my ss/sc with their shorty header, hahn is too exspensive for what it is.

hahn's quality is the same as vibrant, zzp, cti, cia, etc. so keep $ in your pocket and go with a diff. company.

 

What mods do you have/ or have planned to be in need of a 3" exhaust? A 2.5" would be perfect unless you plan to go TVS or Turbo.

 

I always liked mine when I was still SC'd. Custom Header, DP, and full exhaust by RD Fabs.

Header was a small primary, maybe 1-1/2, down to a 3" collector.
DP was 3" w/ a Mangnaflow universal cat (cheap one).
Catback was 3" w/ a ebay resonator (3.5"X18") and a Magnaflow Street Series.

 

vibrant is loud and i love it
hahn sounds lovely as well

 

Vibrant 3" sounds sex when driving normal, but when you get into WOT it gets loud, but which exhaust doesn't at WOT?

 

gmpp touring sounds like sex 100% of the time

 

bracket racing, on the brakes at the end. don't worry about the times on those videos hahah they all sucked. while i was getting used to the new setup

 

Thanks everyone for the input got one ordered about twenty minutes ago actually.

 

what did you go with

 

Borla! and got it at a really good price as well. i think my total with shipping was 450.00? something like that.

well i say borla but its not borla piping but it is a borla muffler so it counts lol

 

What size pipes? 2.5"?

 

Well, the thread title says 3"....so I'd only assume.

 

Yea, I know he was looking for a 3" but I was wondering which he decided to go with 3 or 2.5 because I didn't really see the need to go 3" unless he had bigger plans for his car. I asked out of curiosity.

 

Unless your going with a TVS or a turbo kit you want to stick with 2.5 Inch exhaust otherwise you may have power loss instead of gain you want that back pressure.

 

Yep I mentioned that in post #10. The OP stated that he purchased an exhaust with a borla muffler. I'm just curious what size pipes he got. But I'm guessing he went with an exhaust from mandrel exhaust systems.

 

i went full 3" and put down the #8 highest wtrq on an unported m62.

 

dude back pressure is something you dont want i made more power with a full 3in system
