I like the GMMG or Magnaflow. I'm running the Magnaflow w/ LT's and a electric cut out.

GMMG and borla are among favorites, I personally like TSP. Cheaper, light, and still get a good sound.

"best catback" is a matter of opinion, all will deliver the same gain but all have their own tone, which tone is best is up to the person listening.

if you want the best value IMO it's magnaflow, being one of the cheapest AND stainless steel, it's a hard piece to beat imo. used to have one and I loved the sound personally. hooker is another good one that is cheap, but it's not stainless

Like previously stated it's all about opinion. I like as loud as I can get and as obnoxious as I can get but alot of other people don't like that. For example lots of people will say with no cats and an SLP loudmouth the cars sounds horrible...but I have had several cars just like that and liked it alot. Then people will tell you the same thing about Borla that with no cats it's raspy and obnoxious but my opinion is that it's one of the best combo's out there. But if I had to say what I like the most it would be a tie between a Corsa and the GMMG catback. Two NASTY sounding systems.

I vote wrd1972inc.





But I am biased.
If you have the skills, tools and time, you can make one better than any boxed system out there.

If I had to call a boxed system.
With manifolds, Borla,
With headers, Magnaflow or Hooker.

for value i would say Texas Speed Rumbler 3" catback, http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=195&catid=46 , but for sound custom built duals cant be beat.

Gmmg here! But as stated several times, its all a matter of opinion, and what your willing to spend.
