Need Help with Exhausts

If you buy his combo why not sell the front pipe. Can easily recoup $100+.
Going full catless on a daily is silly in my opinion. The smell isn't worth the trade off. No measurable butt dyno difference.

I find catless gruppe-s header(nearly identical design) and overpipe with the stock FP, catback more quiet than my Corsa catback with everything else stock. Muffler delete is louder than the Corsa. You'll have a very street able setup with okay sound quality.

If you ditch the muffler delete and sell the FP that can put you a few hundred towards a new catback. The cheapest reasonably quiet one I can find in Canada is the greddy SP, and fujitsubo authorize S. Beyond that he prices go up on other options like blitz VSR, STI axleback, CSG comp RS.

I have a lot of exhaust example videos sprinkled through my timeline on IG. I can link the ones that are relevant if you want to see the progression of my noisy setup. Right now I'm fully catless, UEL's, and a muffler delete. It's literally loud all the time, unless I'm up to speed and cruising with very light throttle, on flat ground. BUT, when I put the muffler back on, you'd be hard pressed to tell anything about it is aftermarket (other than offbeat rumble that is actually hard to hear). You get rumbly exhaust pulses just purring out of the stock muffler, no ear breaking sound whatsoever. I'll always keep my stock muffler around incase.

Fully catless, UEL, stock muffler:

It’s reeeeallly subtle from the outside but you can notice the UEL tone and it’s much more dailyable. Too quiet for my taste though, as I have no audible feedback on RPM’s once wheels start turning and road noise immediately takes over the quiet stock muffler box. Good for flying under the radar though. I’ll find something in between the two axle backs I’ve got. That’s my happy spot I think.
