Sorry I'm not here to answer your q, WIll Max.

But you remind me of a friend who lost his low end after upgrading his exhaust.

My 95 is still stock, but saving up for a new catback coz my muffler is rusting out and will probably give out before next summer. Apex-I was what I had in mind bcoz the forum agrees it's one of the more quieter, affordable and decent-looking bolt-on systems. I wonder if it'll rob me of some low-end?

almost any exhaust upgrade from stock will rob u of ur low end....due to the fact of back pressure...

When I had JWT intake it felt that I lost a decent amount of low end torque. I think you'll feel a greater loss on an auto rather than a 5-speed.

less backpressure = loss in low end

but gain in mid and high. rule of thumb...makes me wonder why honduh's have exhaust and intake combo they have no low end grunt as is.
