[dnbutts]

howdie all,

looking into purchasing a Stainless 3" catback or turboback exhaust depending on price,

Have been looking at;

HKS Cat Back - $900

Trust PE 2 Cat Back - $900

JJR Turboback - $900

X-FORCE Turbo Back - $1000

these prices are a rough estimate of what i have seen around...

any help on what to go for and where to get it would be much appreciated.

thanks.

Do a youtube search of all the brands your after so you can get an idea of what they sound like..

You can buy through traders here on the forums here for pretty cheap..

You can by through the internet through other traders..

Or go to your local performance stores..

You pretty much named all of them..

Except Apexi and that's all I can think of now..

HKS Cat Back - Well I haven't read much about these, but it can't be bad. Good quality. It's just a cat back.

Trust PE 2 Cat Back - Good quality exhaust and not loud. Its just a cat back.

JJR Turboback - You also get with this package, A split dump/front pipe and a High Flow Cat. It will be on the load sound as it doesn't have any resonators. Good performance for the price because of the dump/front pipe and high flow cat. Good quality.

X-FORCE Turbo Back - You also get with this package, A bell mouth dump/front pipe and a High Flow Cat. It will be quieter than the JJR but should be louder than the PE2. It has a resonator so it will be nice to the ears and the dB meter. Good performance for the price because of the dump/front pipe and High flow cat. Good quality.

Note: Changing the dump/front pipe will net you the biggest performance gain.

My Pick: Either the JJR or the X-Force. You get more for your $.

If I was to buy again: JJR split dump/front pipe with High Flow Cat with the X-force Cat-Back = Performance without being too loud.

Extra Note: If buying the X-Force and you don't want it too loud, make sure it has the oval resonator. I believe they came 2 different types. One was oval and the other was a hotdog (louder).

I have the X-Force Strainless Steel turbback on my car, its loud at WOT but ive had cops stand behind it and listen to it and they didn't seem to think it was illegally loud. As suggested, youtube the particular systems and see what sound you like best. If you want I can take a recording of the Xforce if you want

Ive got the JJR turbo back exhaust. Love it.

Good price and goes hard. Its also not that loud, innitially you will think it is, but after a couple of weeks, youll get used to it.

Its also not loud at all on the freeway, only in smaller revs.

Also the JJR has a split dump pipe when the x-force has bell shaped one... the JJR split dump pipe gives you better power and response.

awesome, probably thinking the JJR or a Cat back PE2 with a dump pipe from somewhere else?

might pay to find someone in SA and ask them to take me for a ride so i can get an idea of the in cabin noise! cheers guys!
