Need a 3" catback... and some help choosing which
So I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go with OTTP's new Stage 3 kit (TVS and other fun things) once the tax return comes in. Right now on my car I have the Vibrant header/downpipe with the GMPP Sport catback. But with the TVS I'm gonna have to step up to a 3" catback. The 2 that I'm going back and forth between now are the Hahn 3" ($580) and the CTI 3" ($450).
Just wanted to see what you guys thought, especially from people who have either of them.
And feel free to post some sound clips of either
Or can I get away with keeping the GMPP on there? I'm looking to run the TVS with a 2.9" pulley and 80's. Maybe meth down the road a little bit

I've ALWAYS used borla exhausts on 4cyl cars... simply the deepest tone and best stainless durability you'll come across. They eliminate more raspy noise out of race headers too. IMO of course 
EDIT: Appears as though they don't make a 3" for the ss yet... Damn, I was hoping to buy one soon.

The gmpp is a Tad small, though I don't think you need a 3", that's just me, the Hahn just doesn't sound right on a SS/SC, I really like the cti stuff personally, good quality / sound, but I'd go with a good flowing 2.5" setup

That's probably the same one they list on the borla site then... if you like it, maybe go for a custom 3" stainless system and weld in a 3" borla? Lots of options there of course.... I know my local shop could custom bend me a system out of 3" stainless for cheaper than canned units.

I love my hahn catback matched with the vibrant header and catles dp. Its all sorts of win. Very quiet at cruise and extremely deep at WOT with no rasp at all. Its one of my favorite mods on the car
