Ok, I have done extensive research looking into upgrading the exhaust system, and due to the incredible market saturation I am at an en pass. Eventually I want a full header back replacement, but my end goal is still to maintain at least one cat for the smell, while making what power gains are possible as well as increasing sound of the painfully quiet OEM system. For the present time I'd like to keep my budget to about $750 for a cat back system that will not need to be replaced when it comes time to replace the OEM heads and front/over pipe. The main problem comes in because my wife and I sold her awful ford sedan, and she took my 128i, and I got the BRZ. Now I have to listen everyday while she drives off with her M exhaust and the BRZ is painfully quiet.
Basically I'm looking for a catback, that won't break the bank, but will not need to be replaced when I get around to the rest of the exhaust system.
