and the other thing is.....it might drone at highway speeds which could be annoying..

My thing is we know the mufflers only make about 2HP...how much HP does the mid pipe make...if it's only another 2HP then spending $1,000+ for 4HP is nothing more than a waste of money.

The highway drone is what would drive me nuts, but won't silencer eliminate that?

My Magnaflow system is dead quiet between 60-70mph. If I bog it down (high gear, low speed) around town there is serious drone, but cruising on the highway at normal (legal) speeds, very nice. 3rd gear at 70, now that's a whole 'nother story.

isnt that the same as the comptech axleback in conjunction with the comptech b-pipe

1k is rediculous to turn a $600 axlebackback system into a catback. is it really $400 worth of piping?

It's really funny now especially when people complained about the price of the Greddy Dual Evo Catback. The Greddy doesn't seem bad now i'm sure for some people compared to this.

Joe Seirro at Comptech said they don't have dyno graphs yet but it will be 7-8 more hp. For $1k, I don't know if it's worth it.

if people will $600 for 1-2hp then $1k for 7-8 should be a steal. i would prefer a custom catback myself, but the comptech name does provide many with confidence concerning R&D and build quality in addition to dyno testing. basically, if you got it spend it
