The Hahn Racecraft one sounds terrific...there's multiple threads and videos of it around on the site.

That being said, IIRC, it sounds best on tc's, less so but still nice on sc's.

In my opinion, Hahn sounds the best, but isn't made anymore. I would put the zzp catback at second, but its a 3 inch. So unless you were looking for a 3 inch look for some help from the guys with 2.5s hopefully you can get some advice from them. If I remember correctly the corsa and gmpp sound pretty good but the corsa is hella expensive. The search bar is your friend! Watch some YouTube vids too!!

i would only buy corsa,gmpp, and possibly zzp. anything else will just sound like another rice burner. i have corsa and love it! it was pricey but worth the money.

They discontinued the one-piece/all polished exhaust, and recreated it as a MODpipe-type thing, with swappable muffler and resonators (meaning you swap in straight pipes now). And it's cheaper! It's available, just not on the website/hasn't been announced yet.

The sound should be close to identical, since they are using the same muffler, res, and tip.

I'm not so fond of the gmpp exhaust due to it being smaller than the stock exhaust however I have heard the zzp and dezod and those were both pretty loud but just right IMHO.
