looking for some feedback from people whove used them before i go off buying one. Im looking for a 3" that is going to be as quiet as we can keep it, i know its an understatement, ive heard some loud as ones and i dont wanna be known as "that guy". I know the zzp has the whisper resonator and it sounds real quiet, but ive heard bad things about the resonator breaking/ zzp leaking problems/ poor customer service. i heard good things about the hahn, but someone also first-handedly told me that his hahn on the ss.sc was real loud compared to the cti ott has. im liking the 450 for the non stainless steel cti, but for 575 i can get full stainless and never have to worry about it rusting out. any words on the zzp especially? i think im leaning towards that. and IMO i think all of those exhausts are overpriced Any good advice?

(Ill have the tvs, which is why im going 3" fyi)

 

The ZZP system is too freaking big for the car, even at stock height i dragged the resonator across every speed bump, eventually it broke and caused real problems

 

Have you seen our new exhaust? http://www.ottperformance.com/Cobalt...duct_info.html

 

^^ ill do it if i dont have to pay another 100 bones for the 3" i dont see why pipe size makes it more expensive

plus i invested in the tvs through ott

 

Its stainless bro. Their regular CTI exhaust is 450 while their stainless 3" is 100 more as its quite a bit more material. 575 for a full stainless exhaust isn't bad at all

 

Make you a deal on the Hahn (which is a quiet exhaust), PM us...

 

you have a pm op

 

all of them are loud..

 

yea but the stainless 2.5 ott exhaust is 475, another 100 puts it at 575.. the hahn at zzp whisper are both selling for 575, ive heard good things about the hahn. thanks rodimus for the honest info on the zzp

 

sorry to thread jack, but do you have any sound clips yet of your exhaust? The 3 inch and the 2.5?

 

No customers have sent us any yet. We will work on this in the next week

 

as a side note, mattman, how does the 20% look on your car, im thinking about 20 or 15%, theres been tons of break-ins at osu campus, i dont want anyone seeign inside my car at night

 

Actually some have stated the Hahn is to quiet

 

I love my hahn exhaust. It's quiet enough for daily driving while still maintaining a good deep sound, yet very loud and angry at WOT. Not sure what the others sound like. ALL 3" exhaust are going to be loud. Its just the nature of the beast.

 

Exactly... We also do not know what other brands sound like, but only refering to Hahn and it's nice suttle sounds

 

You can get a brand new stainless exhaust, for $400, that includes a muffler as well (magnaflow or borla) and have it welded together with a resonator added (to quiet it down) for about 60 bucks at a muffler shop.

This is 3" by the way.

You can get the aluminized steel version for 70 bucks less.

 

How does the full Hahn sound? with the hahn shorty header, 3" downpipe w/cat and 3" cat back?? Anyone know this one?

 

its on youtube somewhere

 

I like it a lot, I think 20% is perfect. Not too dark and not too light.

 

damn you matt ur rims are sexy. i really dont wanna do them tho hahaha.

 

they look even better when they are clean

 

Sorry.. I just puked in my mouth a little... LMAO :P

 

nice wheels and yea most aftermarket exhaust there will be a big difference in sound compared to stock...3 inch will be loud and deep and stainless 3 inch pipe isnt cheap..hence why people are scraping so much **** now days in this economy. they are a good price... go with the lower costing ones like the ott one or the mandrelbendexhaust.com exhaust and if it is too loud then have a resonator welded in for at most 50 bucks..

 

mandrelbentexhaust 405 for stainless + magnaflow muffler.. cant beat it.

Ill be getting mine next week...

 

your right, 20% is perfect. Im gonna get that done for only 130 bucks as soon as i recover from my tvs set-up, i cant beleive ive spent this much on my car
