Greddy Axel Back or Catback?
Hey guys, I'm so lost right now. I keep looking at exhaust and about to go crazy here haha.
Would this be a good option, 1. Greddy SP Axel Back + Catless front pipe + tune or 2. Greddy Supreme SP Catback + catless front pipe + tune I'm not doing this at once, but in long term, however, i read this in the sticky thread "Mid-Pipe Very little restriction here on NA car, keep the resonator else you may get rasp or drone. No Cel code problems here." So what option is better or do they both produce the same gains? Just cause, right now, a axel back is $600.00 while a catback is $1150.00

Easy decision. Just go with the axel back save your money for the catless front pipe. You will notice the most gains from the tune and the catless front pipe.
It is not worth paying an extra $600 for more piping when you can spend that money on a set of used catless headers. |

it's really up to you but spending over $1,000 for exhaust is very expensive.
our mid-pip or aftermarket gaining is not much. of course aftermarket exhaust that comes with midpipe is better but not gives you much HP |

Unless you just really like the style or sound of a specific catback I personally just like the greddy sp axle back and the stock midpipe... There are little gains to be made from the mid pipe being swapped. If you are pinching for every last bit of HP then I would for sure swap it out otherwise meh. The OEM mid keeps things quiet... I have been running the OEM midpipe with both my supercharger & turbo setup. Sure it was restrictive but I'm cheap :P I would rather spend that $1000 on an extra set of tires.
