im also saying - 100% - sound is awesome and there is deff performance gains - you can tell the engine is breathing better by the way its shifting.

Once I can afford it (probably a year away ), Draxas will be the exhaust on my tC.

I believe they have two version one w/ spipe and w/o spipe..

Both have a CAT and a resonator.. Correct me if I'm wrong but having a CAT will help pass emissions (if you decide to change header?)

Having a CAT (this is a hi-flow cat in the draxas system) will reduce emmisions coming out of your tC, therefor it will pass emissions (this will very in different state, you need to review your local laws about exhaust).

you can get spipe and back (includes the spipe)
cat back (hi-fllow cat and back)
and you can buy the spipe seperate

if you need any other clarification, please feel free to ask me

correction, you ordered the header back exhaust (the entire system minus a header), which inclues the following:
spipe, mid pipe (the hi-flow cat is welded in to this pipe, as well as the resonator), the pipe that connects the mid pipe to the muffler, and the muffler

just wanted to clarify that for other intrested buyers

It will work very good for a FA car. It is a 2.5" pipe, which is plenty big enough for FA

its FI. forced induction



and to answer some more questions..it will bolt on directly to the stock header if you get the header back exhaust. there is now welding or cutting needed, this is a beautifully engineered exhaust.
