Question CatBack or AxleBack Exhaust System?

What kind of exhaust system do most of you guys have? Do you guys recommand Greddy Evo.(CatBack),Comptech (AxleBack)or anything? Also, does anyone have single tip instead of dual from stock? I'm thinking getting exhaust in a month or so.

Levoc racing pedal
Momo combat sliver shift knob
Piaa 001 Solitaire plasma blue fog

I think most people who changed their exhaust got the Comptech axle back exhaust system.

If you want it louder than Comptech's, you can get the Greddy/Tanabe. It really depends on what you are looking for.

IMO, the tips from the catbacks for our car are too big. anything 4" or bigger doesn't look right. the comptechs are perfect, except they're axleback. but the difference in performance is slim.

Dayum. Edub-TL, if you cut out a square at the bottom of the bumper, it would resemble a Porsche Boxster style exhaust!
