ZZP vs hahn exhaust

Ive searched ive listen i cant decide... Im supercharged

There were no threads comparing these two.
Im buying one or the other next week i want to be sure.
Im fully stock this will be my first mod other than visuals. I was thinking zzp 2.5 but i heard that hahn is deep and loud. But zzp is cheaper and people like the 3 chambered muffler.
What would you guys suggest too me anyone have one or the other or switched between the two?

Thread moved to correct section.

Also, I'm with what MrB said. Stick to a 2.5" catback.

The Hahn is very loud as well

well even if i did go with hahn why would the 3" be overkill for my stock set up

because youre not flowing the air to justify a 3" exhaust....

2.5" is best for most if not all SS/SC setups. It blends the best of both worlds.... good exhaust gas velocity & flow.

No melting on my car, I'll take a pic later of the exhaust/bumper. It looks really close to stock, other than a larger tip

I mean I like the sound of hahn but if it decrease gas and is bad for my car then I won't do it. I plan in the future to get a zzp 3" intake this year

I have a Hahn cat back and it's pretty quiet IMO. Of course my opinion might be a little skewed after driving my LOUD AS F*** GTO lol

i have the hahn exhaust that over time became very loud. i recently put a ZZP 3 Chamber muffler on there and it sounds way better than the Hahn when it was new

this is on a car making nearly 400whp with full catless exhaust

Well I emailed hahn and asked they said since I have the stock downpipe and header the back pressure will be the same as stock. But I don't think my car will exceed 300

Then you havent heard my 2.5" Corsa Touring, or the GMPP Touring.

3" is going to be louder, plain and simple. It's all in what you like, but unless you plan on a TVS or making big numbers, a 2.5" will be the better option.

I'm making close to 300 whp, and have no issues with my full 2.5" exhaust.

Stock LS J exhaust manifold
ZZP 3 inch downpipe with a 2.5 exit catted
2.5 inch cat back exhaust.

U might feel the car pull a lil more on the top end once u get rid of the POS stock down pipe.

This will handle almost anything a m62 powered car can through at it. Unless u plan to be at the revlimiter alot.
