Question axleback exhaust

alright, so i've been thinking about this and trying to gather as much information as possible but i'd still like everyone's opinions...

I'm going to get an axleback exhaust since I want sound and looks as oppposed to performance. The HKS super drager seems is a unique choice and is supposed to be pretty deep and loud. The Tsudo axleback costs about $250 less but I don't know too much about it. I'm looking for something pretty loud, and I can't imagine that exhaust drone would be too annoying to me.

What's everyone thinking? Just looking for your

Good quesiton.. what I always wanted to know is, aside from looks and partial sound, was there really any performance benefit from just getting a axle back?

If you just want loud why don't you just remove the resonator?

Theres NO benefit performance wise for any axleback. Its simply cosmetic. Theres a thread already going on the main 2g section on the Tsudo. I have them and love them. If you take the mid muffler out they'll be loud enough for most people. If you check out that thread you'll get a ton more info and some clips.

Not sure what the HKS's are like. I know quite a few ppl have them so I'm assuming their good. Havnt heard anything bad.

yeah you won't get gains from an axleback with stock headers, downpipe, cat, b-pipe/y-pipe... so you want to make your car just loud without any gains? o_o'

@TequiLa: pretty much. performance doesn't really matter to me anymore since the TL is more of a luxury car with a hint of sport in my mind

from that thread TequiLa mentioned:

i was trying to get away from something like that, i wonder if the HKS does the same?

and does removing the midmuffler on a stock exhaust make that much of a difference?

People say removing the mid muffler reminds them of a g35 type tone.
