Muffler vs Catback
Re: Muffler vs Catback depends on which muffler you plan on replacing the stock one with. the flowmaster 80 series muffler makes about 8 rwhp over the stock muffler. the flowmaster cat-back makes about 10 rwhp over stock. but i wouldn't get either of the above the flowmaster doesn't flow enough to make power on a modified car on a stock car you might not lose much with it but on a modified car you will.
if you want a good sounding and good flowing exhaust look into the hooker cat-back i highly recommend it. another good one is magnaflow.

Re: Muffler vs Catback Go magnaflow, and on a ws6 you should have 3" pipes already ( I did). magnaflow is highest flow you can get. I got mine for $114 shipped and LOVE it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Muffler vs Catback I ran a Magnaflow muffler on stock exhaust pipes for about a year. I spent less than $100, installed. I had a cut-out added later, and hated the sound of that.
I then took it all off when the ATI was put on and replaced it with a Hooker cat-back. I love that cat-back!! It's one of the few times where the cheapest was also the best for me.
