Frankencar Cat-Back or Greddy Cat-back

ok some opinions needed

frankencar is nice and conservative...very quiet while still maintaining good flow

Greddy...i always thought greddy was really loud....but unless you have heard it in person dont think that....i heard it today ...greddy catback without y-pipe...that thing sounded like a G35...not loud at all

i jsut dont know if it drones...??

i dont know much about franekncar either

some opinions please

I have Greddy EVO 2 and it sounds kinda loud and rumbles from 1500RPM through 2500RPM, after that it turns quiet and turns into G35 type of exhaust tone.

I love the way it looks on my car, however It does drone on highway cruses. I never heard of Fankincar exhaust, I would assume its just as quiet as stock.

its a nice exhaust...and it will fit in my rear valence perfectly
but are theere any proven gains
with this i get basically stock sound and a heavier exhaust
so i dont after i heard greddy in perosn im kinda leaning towards that

i didnt want one huge tip in there.....i was looking more for a frankencar exhaust look....

I'm deciding between a Stillen and Frankcar cat-back too.... the price diff is huge... stillen almost $600 and FC $400. Is the Stillen that much better?

Save yourself the dough....get a b pipe and weld the tips of your choice....same performance gains and no drone

That way if you decide on a y pipe later....you wont be annoyed by a fartcan getting even louder

You could get the HKS rear section. That is def. louder than Greddy.
