Greddy Catback

Depends on what you want?
Power? or Pleasant Sound? or combination of Power and Loud Sound?

Option 1: Power
get a y-pipe with your stock exhaust. 15-20 hp very little noise change

Option 2: Sound
Greddy, Apex, or Stillen Catback. 1-2 hp but with pleasant sound

Option 3: Power with Loud Exhaust
y-pipe with any aftermarket Catback exhaust = LOUD!!!
( I speak from experience. I have a Greddy Catback and it sounds great. I added a Cattman y-pipe and The volume and noise was too much for me, especially since I am auto (drone).

Hope this helps

My advise: get the ypipe with a b-pipe and keep the stock muffler

if you like loud exhausts...get the Y and the catback. I have the Cattman Y with Greddy Catback...it drones at 2500 rpms...nowhere else really. That's where it's the loudest and most noticable...it's not unbearable though...

Might still be bad. They are based in Japan and customs right now is rough. They are limiting the amount of stuff imported by some compaines. Might wanna call the US operations they have in CA to find out about how long for sure.

Go to a trusty exhaust shop and have them make you a dual set up. Lots of power gains and an unbeatable low tone.

See sig pic for example.
