Default Upgrade catback THEN header/Ypipe?

Can I buy a new catback (Magnaflow) and then later on upgrade my headers and y-pipe?

I ask because in the sticky I can't upgrade my y then header, so I figure I might want to ask before I waste money.

ya u can do the catback first then the headers and y, but why wouldnt you just do headers and y first into the stock catback. coated pacesetters are 369 and the y is 134 from texas speed so like 503 and the magnaflow catback is 479...thats what ill probably be doing unless i go duals and just makes more since to me, but to each his own.

Because I wanted the sound before I really NEED the performance.

That and I was going QTP and its like over $1k for the headers and Y.

you will still notice a difference even if you do the header and y before the exhaust, the header and y will give you a lower tone and still be a little bit louder and its easier if you do the header and y first.

Lots of people go with the catback first and then get headers/Y. You're good man.
