what Downpipe to get

Im, ready to finish my exhaust and i decided to buy zzp's header and i already have dezod's 2.75" catback. I dont know what downpipe to get, dezod's is too expensive for me . I like CA's and cti's, with CA i don' know if i should go 2.5 or 3" and cti I dont know what size flange I need becuase they offer 2.5 and 3. Any help wou.ld be appreciated.

Go with ZZP's downpipe/header combo if your already going to get the header from them. Plus it comes fully welded as one unit.

You need a d/p the same size as that if you wanted bolted up, if not then it has to be welded.

ZZP FTW!!

I got the 2.5" with a cat and it doesnt whistle or anything like that. The d/p is solid as a rock and performs great.

Go with the RT 2.75" downpipe. Quality does not come cheap.

The RT downpipe is the same damn pipe as Dezod's! Random Technology makes the pipe for Dezod.

You're probably going to have to go with the Dezod one for the odd 2.75 size. I think a 3" downpipe from ZZP will connect to your 2.75" exhaust though.

^Yea, Im thinking since the dezod catback bolted to the stock downppipe any downpipe that will bolt to the stock catback should fit. I dont want to buy dezod because they advertised the cat back as their's but it was random tech's and then right after I bought it they lower the price.

From what I understand the HAHN setup is Random Technology.

I had their header on, then I f'ing wrecked my car before I could get the downpipe.

Looks like a nice piece though.
