Default Down to three.

I have come down to three exhausts I want for my TC.

Borla's catback
Megan's catback
DC's catback

I just want to know which one is deeper and wont sound like a Civic when I floor it and which will give me best gains.

I have Borla on my Z and love it, so deep, and so nice.

Just throw me your opinions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of these systems are cat-back. The Borla and DC are axle-back and Megan makes either S-pipe-back or axle -back. Which Megan are you considering? Are you going to run a header? If not, then all of these will avoid the Civic sound. Try searching, there are a lot of video clips on here of exhaust systems.

I believe the new skunk is a catback/s pipe back. And they are usually pretty deep sounding.

Honestly, I don't know if they are, the websites I have checked say they are catback.

Stupid, non-updated, sob websites! I'm pretty sure I'm correct. What about my other questions? Header? Megan Drift Spec or OE-RS?

So its come down to two.

Megan Drift-spec for 345 shipped.

I just want to know which is deeper and not all raspy, and which is the better deal.

I know that now, I went to a website a while ago and it said catback, and that's when I posted this, but now I just want to know which one would be better for the price.

Draxas will sound the best if you are ever going to to get a header.
