is it worth getting the cat back or should i just get the axle back after purchasing ct headers?

 

You're not really going to see any performance gains with either the Catback or the Axleback exhausts. If you want them for performance reasons, I'd say save your money. The only time the Catback exhaust helps is if you have a supercharger. Only other real reason to get the exhaust and then in that case just get the Axlebacks .. is for the looks and the sound.

 

so if i get headers i shouldn't bother getting exhaust?

 

exactly, unless you want to improve looks and add some sound - our stock exhaust is higher flow than most stock systems.

 

i'll have to disagree... i dont have a supercharger or a turbo and my exhaust system definitly gave me more power. it would probably not be as good for someone who doesnt have intake/headers tho)


but what is your goal? more power, more sound, more looks? are you trying to dramatically improve your car's performance or if you only want some goodies to make it a lil' punchier?


@cUr@-TL

 

power!

 

power like you'll do everything to have the most HP possible?



@cUr@-TL

 

yes but without N02 or Turbo for now!

 

Turbo will have to be custom made, and hasn't been done yet on a TL to my knowledge... It has set bac k the CL-S guys who had one custom made about $7k + labor, etc..

 

The Exhausts for our car are more for looks, and sound than performance.

 

so how can i get performance out of my exhaust?

 

Does anyone have the sound clips of both exhaust systems?? Aren't they sound the same??

 

get a custom setup. like 2¼" from the cat to the y-pipe then 2½" from the y-pipe to each muffler. mandrel bent too. make sure you get straight flowing mufflers (straight through)


and man, please, dont make my goal too hard to achieve --> have the fastest TL-P in Quebec


@cUr@-TL

 

i'll be there pretty soon!
what the stock pipe diametre? and how big is the CT axle back diametre?

 

ahhh you ass

im going for the 3.5L conversion soon, try that bish


stock diameter is around 1.75" i think?! not sure at all tho.



@cUr@-TL

 

does that fit perfectly on our cars? or modifications have to be made?
And why not 2/12 all the to the mufflers?
