best cat back

1. Comptech (will have to custom bend the b-pipe)
2. Apexi WS
3. Magnaflow (custom)
4. Neuspeed

In that order...

no way. comptech is the best, yes it costs more, but the sound is well worth the $$$ that and you can change teh sound with the quiet tip inserts

Why do you need to custom bend the b-pipe?

I think it's your preference. I thought comptechs were too small (looked kinda stock) so I went with Apex.

they have to bent some pipes in order to make it fit, not sure how much but it's not that big

if you want to make a cat back you can just customize one, most muffler shop can do that, but that will run about 300-400 CAD

What is a cat back? what if i get rid of both factory mufflers and install newer better larger, higher flow ones? Like the stainless ones on ebay? along with my new headers, this should be a good combination, right?
