Axle back or catback??

Is the catback worth the money performance wise? If not,why spend the extra cash?

in my opinion no. there is very little to be gained from an exhaust other than sound. Now if you had all the other mods done and this was all that as left then i might say yes, or if you had FI

^^^^ I agree. Buy aftermarket mufflers (Comptech, HKS, Magnaflow) for their aesthetic and audio value then cut out the OEM resonator and replace it with a Magnaflow resonator or 22, 18, 14inches so you can control sound even more. This gives you total control over your cars exhuast sound and look.

I'm assuming 22,18,14 is the length of the resonator!

the smaller the resonator, the louder the sound will be (less resonance killing).

opposite for more quiet...the longer the more quiet.
