Hello guys,
I just wanted to know and get opinions on either Cat back system better or just getting typical ol' muffler? Where can I find good quality products!
Thanks!
fyi: i'm still a noob thanks! lol

 

So, catback or axleback? It depends on how much you're willing to spend, and what kind of sound you're looking for.

 

\\what's the difference between axleback and catback. A good nice loud smooth sound. something like this.....

Cat back ftw.

And to the haters SRS* is the only brand to make one for the tc with out rasp and a nice deep tone.

 

If I'm not mistaken catback replaces everything up to your header. Or at least your S-Pipe. Axelback is replacing everything after your mid pipe, which means pretty much a muffler and exhaust tip.

Axelback - Should give you the smooth sound you're looking for. Not much performance gain though. Not very loud but noticeable. VERY easy installation. And probably cheaper than catback.

Catback - More chance of getting rasp. Depending on what you get. By getting catback you are replacing your mid pipe, which has 2 large cylinder shaped things in it. I do know one of them is a catalyc converter and I've heard the other is a resonator, but I'm not sure. But replacing that mid pipe and not having to deal with the "2 large cylinder shaped things" will give you much better exhaust flow which would give you a better performance gain compared to an axelback system. Also catback will be louder than axelback. But if you're worried about emissions most catbacks have a cat converter.

So it's kind of up to you if you wanna risk having a bad sound but catback I think is the way to go you get sound and performance there are a lot of good systems out there.

 

the cat is on the header not the mid-pipe, thats why its called a cat back, its from the cat back

 

False, my Tsudo sounded good. Agency Power and Skunk 2 give the same results.

OP, whats your budget?

 

can you recommend any good website where i can order from, i have tC 2010. thanks!

Thats what I meant it replaces everything up to your header which means getting rid of the mid pipe. Any idea what the "2 large cylinder shaped things" are?

 

x2, ive got the ebay deluxe, DME header(not actually crap) meagan mid pipe and s pipe, tsudo axle back, makes for a strange combination

 

were they 2.5" to 4" cats?

 

resonator

 

how did that quote relate to what you said in any way

 

thanks! they sure are pretty pricey! lol

 

Well I've always bought my parts off ebay but they are good quality stuff not cheap garbage. (TRD exhaust, Injen CAI, Megan headers, Megan s-pipe). But if I were you I would find a brand that I like and check out their website if they have one and order from them.

 

Ebay or on the PPC here, dont get a TRD, its great but like with all TRD parts you'll just end up wanting more later

 

thanks guys, im planning to get Agency Power Ti Exhaust for 629.99 is that decent pricing or i could find it on ebay for cheaper~

 

That's pretty much as cheap as you'll find it.

And I have eBay piping on my Civic and just replaced the muffler, gets the job done just as well as any other exhaust would.

 

thanks!
