Everyone with HAHN exhaust
Planning on buying a Hahn catback and runing it with a zzp header and downpipe. Hooking it up with a 2.5" downpipe exit. (I might change to a different header a D/P, 3" at a latter time) I am doing this to get a nice deep exhaust and get ride of rapsyness and the tinny sounds. So, what do you think about Hahn exhaust? my set-up?, sound? etc.

The Hahn is the best setup on the market today. It is tuned to get rid of the raspyness and it does give the deep growl. The other thing is that the Hahn isnt loud at idle which annoys myself alot but under load emits a great sound. If you havent bought the ZZP header and dp combo yet please DONT!!!!! Prefereably buy the Hahn front to back and spend the extra $$ it will save you in the end trust me. You will have nothing but problems with the ZZP dp combo and you will have to wait like a month with no car.

eh, my Hahn 3inch has the stereotypical "bbbbeeeerrrrnnnnnn" of a four cylinder when you floor it. But it does produce great horsepower and is awesome quality so I would get it.

Its really funny. Hahn is probably the BEST company to deal with, purchase from and there tech support is TOP NOTCH. There pricing is definitely higher than alot of other companies but as the good old saying goes "you get what you pay for". I seriously searched for 6 months before I purchase my stage V turbo conversion and full exhaust from Hahn and I can gladly say that in the months prior to buying I never found "1" bad thing anybody had to say about them. Unlike companies like ZZP whereas you see tons of complaints about there product breaking and warranty concerns and so on. I am very happy I made the decision I did and its worth every dime I spent. No point in half assing moding your balt regardless of the money or so on. If you cant afford it today dont buy a cheap alternative and wait til you have the money saved tommorow is what I think.

Yeh, that is everything I was expecting to hear for a response. The only thing is, is that I ALREADY have a ZZP header and D/P combo 
. When I bought it, I found a good deal and it was never used kinda thing. I am kinda kicking my ass for it and would like to go with the Hahn header and down pipe, expect I was never able to seal the header on to the head so I ended up getting GM to do it and was rapped. My ass still hurts from that. So do you guys think I should just wait and extra month so I have to coin to do it all and DO IT ALL, header to muffle all in Hahn?

Yeh I do believe what your saying, I should probably see if I can sell my ZZP product and go from there. Also could sell my Magnaflow muffler. Does anyone have a sound clip of what a complete system sounds like? I guess for anyone who has had them installed, have you have leaks? fitment problems? etc?

all i gotta say about any of this, is that a full 3" setup all the way from the manifold or turbo sounds great.... the only 3" exhaust i heard that souds too loud and raspy is exactly the one i cant think of right now lol, but its too much... i dont know if any of you have seen my sample videos on my myspace page, but if ya wanna see it and hear me just playin with it, PM me for my link, and last name to add me.. ok? and by the way, like i said before, go all out hahn racecraft if you can, yes, they are pricy, but i have everything they have plus more that they installed, and i would not trust anyone else to even touch my car but them.... for work purposes lol... i have been up there myself many many times, and their shop area is all ECOtecs....... it is almost all they know, which is top of the line for us balt people. they,,, do not fail...

The real nice thing about the full Hahn exhaust is that for a 3" front to back setup it is tuned soooooo well. No raspyness at all and just a nice deep growl sound that is soo quiet until you have a load on the car and even then its not overly that loud, just sweet sounding. I dont think any other manufacturer can even come close to this setup in any area.

nah, you're right,, they cant, and they wont lol. see, i love cruisin in lower gears at high speeds sometimes, (to be prepared for a quick pull if needed) or just high gearin it to hear the growl, either way, under 20 psi with a 3" catless down pipe and 3" hahn exhaust,,, oh dear,,, oh....my...damn!!!! boost kicks in, i go back in the seat, and it's just amazing! i will have to get some side by side videos taken doin some interstate pulls, and some traffic driving, but for now, what i have on my myspace page is all i have, you can also get a good sample of hahns BOV system too, i reccomend that all ya watch what i have on my myspace, just let me know, i'll give ya the link, and the last name to add..

The Hahn full exhaust setup is like completely different than anything else. Going with a header with 1 5/8" primaries instead of 1 3/4", with a 2.75" downpipe (normally 2.5 or 3") then a 3" exhaust. I don't understand the physics behind all of this but its like going from small tubing to high tubing. I am right or the velocity of the header to downpipe is really high then going low to the 3" catback? The air wouldnt be compressed with lots of turbulence around the header / downpipe with a highly modded cobalt?
I was considering this setup but I'm Canadian so its pricey for me and I was looking also for a full CTI exhaust setup that OTTP sells. This cost almost two times less for me, how well does a setup like that fair against a full Hahn exhaust setup?? Paying almost two times much, really, its worth it?

Will I see an increase in torque, low end hp? high end hp? I'm not doing it for the hp, but mostly for the sound.... I am currently running zzp header and dp with stock catback and a muffler, just so you know what to compare too.
